Photo Exhibition on the War against Ukrainian Libraries
Kornhaus Bibliotheken Bern (Kornhaus libraries) and the Ukraine Culture Network jointly organized a photo exhibition on the ongoing war against Ukrainian libraries. This war is part of the war the Russian Federation wages against Ukrainian culture and identity.
The exhibition was on display at the main building of Kornhausbibliotheken at Kornhausplatz 18 in Bern until January 31, 2026. It featured works of photographer Åke Ericson, who traveled to Ukraine to document the situation of libraries. You can find a selection of his photos under this link.
Swiss National TV SRF produced a TV report on the exhibition.
The exhibition enjoyed the support of the Embassies of Ukraine and Sweden in Switzerland. The Ukraine Culture Network and Kornhaus Libraries are thankful for the close cooperation with the Swedish Library Association on these events. They gratefully acknowledge support by the Landis & Gyr Foundation.
