In the exhibition ‘Between War and Hope’, Focus Agency and the St. Nikolai Memorial invite you to take an in-depth look at a complex topic that has accompanied mankind ever since: War.

Each photograph tells a story of people's experiences in extreme situations, of moments of disruption, of waiting, of hope, of reconstruction and the search for peace. Conflicts overlap, traumas endure for generations, and for many, war remains an incessant state – in which courageous forms of resistance sprout again and again. The exhibition is a multi-faceted collection that provides insights into the emotions of people caught between destruction and confidence.

Regardless of the different backgrounds of the wars, the focus is on the universal nature of the effects that war has on people. As war is omnipresent in the media, there is a need for a conscious look at perspectives beyond the usual images and narratives that enable a more comprehensive understanding of war.

This exhibition is an invitation and an appeal to approach the images, people, stories and experiences with empathy and to commemorate the past.

The exhibition is a cooperation between the St. Nikolai Memorial and the Focus Agency.
