"Tolerance Alive in Times of Hope and Sadness"

"On May 17, Ukraine soldiers relinquished their defensive positions after bravely enduring a weeks-long Russian bombardment of the Azovstal factory in Mariupol. They mounted a valiant defence. Coincidentally, in 2019 the Tolerance poster exhibition (the red pin on the map below) opened only a short distance from the besieged steelworks. That venue is now destroyed." Above is a quote from May 17th, 2022, post "Tolerance Alive in Times of Hope and Sadness" on   The Daily Heller   by Steven Heller.

Tolerance Posters at TheMostFest|2.0 in Konstantinovka, Ukraine

On August 25th, a Tolerance Show opened at the Konstantinovka industrial zone in Ukraine. This exhibition was part of TheMostFest|2.0, a multi-disciplinary event that also featured workshops, dance performances, and live music. The venue was a formerly abandoned hanger, which has recently been activated as a space for cultural and social events as part of Metacity: East, a project by young Ukrainian architects, thinkers, and activists who seek to draw attention to abandoned industrial spaces via urban art interventions.
