Ukrainian American Cultural Center of NJ
Invites you to
Please join us for a captivating photo exhibit documenting Russia’s genocidal invasion of Ukraine.

YES, Russia started the war in Ukraine.
Ukrainian American Cultural Center of NJ will display photo exhibits that chronicle the harsh realities of war endured by Ukrainians over the past 3 years. Let us not forget and may we remain resilient!

“Russia’s Full-Scale War against Ukraine”
Photos demonstrate the genocidal nature of Russia’s war, and its effect on civilian life, and show the resilience of Ukraine’s civilians coping with this war.

This photo exhibit was first displayed in the busy concourse area of CT’s State Legislative Office Building in Hartford, CT where many tour groups of all ages pass through. It was funded in part by the CT Holodomor Committee the Ukrainian, National Women’s League of America, Branch 106, Hartford and private donors. It was created by CTHC and UNWLA Htfd Branch member Lana Babij

“Maks Levin: The Final Photographs”
A prominent Ukrainian photojournalist chronicled the first weeks of the Russian invasion in 2022.

These photos, documenting the harsh realities of war, were displayed at the Wadsworth Museum of Art, Hartford, CT in 2024, in partnership with the Center for Persecuted Arts, Solingen. https://www.thewadsworth.org/makslevin/
Ukrainian photojournalist Maksym “Maks” Yevhenovych Levin (1980-2022) was found dead in a forest north of Kyiv on April 1, 2022. He was last seen on March 13, attempting to recover a camera drone that was shooting images of the Russian invasion. Reporters Without Borders concluded that he had been captured and executed by Russian soldiers. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky posthumously awarded Levin the Order of Courage (Third Degree) “for personal courage and selfless actions shown during the coverage of Russian aggression.”
Levin devoted nearly a decade to chronicling the unfolding history of Ukraine and his work became well known through local media and global news agencies such as the BBC, Associated Press, and Reuters. He shifted to war photography when Russia invaded Crimea and the Donbas in 2014, and his practice intensified with the full invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The photographs in this exhibition capture the first weeks of the invasion in the environs of Kyiv. They are among the last Levin made.

Сім років тому Танок на майдані Конґо (ТНМК) вперше представив свою спеціальну різдвяну програму «Теплий акустичний вертеп» в якій хіти гурту перемежалися з авторськими скетчами, а всі учасники ставали персонажами класичного українського вертепу.
“New Ukrainian Vertep” – спеціальна музично-театральна програма, в якій українські традиції святкування Різдва поєднуються з сучасним контекстом, який є зрозумілим глядачам з усього світу – тут і Чорт, як антагоніст світла, і традиційні образи царів класичного шоу.
3 роками це шоу змінювалося, набувало нових пісень й сенсів, проїхалося кількома турами Україною та Європою. Цього року THMK приготували нову різдвяну програму і вже готові запросити вас на «”New Ukrainian Vertep” у США!
Очікуйте яскраві костюми, улюблені хіти, театральне шоу, наповнене гумором і глибиною, поєднання найкращих традицій українського вертепу та сучасного контексту, святкову атмосферу та вибухове перетворення улюблених артистів у персонажів вертепу!
Головною метою цієї вистави як і всіх інших виступів гурту ТНМК є збір донатів на військо.

Seven years ago, Tanok na Maydani Kongo (TNMK) premiered their unique Christmas program, Warm Acoustic Vertep. Blending classic hits with original sketches, the performance transformed band members into characters of a traditional Ukrainian nativity play, offering a fresh, engaging twist on Ukrainian Christmas traditions.
The New Ukrainian Vertep fuses these traditions with a global, contemporary context, incorporating symbolic characters like the Devil and kings, along with satirical commentary and musical elements that resonate with audiences worldwide. The program has evolved over time, adding new songs, deeper themes, and meaningful storytelling. It’s now making its U.S. debut, aiming to raise funds for Ukraine’s military efforts while uniting families in celebration. Expect vibrant costumes, beloved hits, humor, and an unforgettable festive atmosphere.
Don’t miss this dynamic, heartfelt journey—a must-see event that showcases both Ukrainian culture and the spirit.
