A PUBLIC ART PROJECT BY VARVARA KEIDAN SHAVROVA AND 10 UKRAINIAN WOMEN PARTICIPANTS FOR REFUGEE WEEK 2023
20 – 27 JUNE 2023

OPENING/PHOTO CALL EVENT: MONDAY 19 JUNE AT 12 NOON. ALL WELCOME.

InFlight_OnLanding is a public art installation that addresses the human aspect of the crisis brought on by Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Varvara Keidan Shavrova, an Irish artist with Ukrainian heritage, is working collaboratively with ten Ukrainian female refugees and migrants now based in Ireland.

The impressive collaborative piece will be mounted as an overhead outdoor parachute-like installation in Meeting House Square. The artwork invites viewers to look up and share in the women’s feelings of suspension and displacement and their sense that Ireland is a place of safety and refuge.
