Faces of Ukrainian Dream is a moving pop-up exhibition that brings to light children’s hopes through the prism of lived experience, memory and creativity. These are the voices of Ukrainian children whose lives have been profoundly shaped by war.
Each artwork, letter, or reflection offers a tender, powerful glimpse into their dreams—of peace, of freedom, of a future without fear.
Children from across war-affected regions in Ukraine, as well as those who found temporary refuge abroad, were invited to share their experiences through visual storytelling. Among the finalists are children now living in Milton Keynes, who escaped the conflict and found safety in the UK.
What emerges is a deeply human collection of resilience and emotion. These works—raw, honest, and imaginative—capture how children make sense of unimaginable loss, while still daring to dream. Each piece opens a window into a young world shaped by displacement and longing yet filled with courage and hope.
Behind every headline is a child's life. Behind every drawing is a dream still alive - waiting to bloom in peace. Marking the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, the exhibition gently invites us to reflect on the meaning of peace today, and how the dreams of the youngest among us can build bridges between the past and a more compassionate future.
The exhibition is organised by the Ukraine Appeal charity and All-Ukrainian Association, Patriot, in partnership with the Office of the President of Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Unity Place, the Shevchenko Library & Archive, the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain (AUGB), MK City Council, MK Libraries, Community Action:MK, AHA-MK, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and the Sunflower school.
