The #WASHinWAR team has opened an exhibition in Lviv at the Memorial Museum of Totalitarian Regimes Territory of Terror. The exhibition focuses on the impact of the war on water, the environment, and the lives of civilians, and is presented in a space that itself bears witness to systematic violence against human beings.
During the opening, welcoming remarks were delivered by the museum’s director, Olha Honchar. The idea behind the film and its creation were presented by the documentary film producer Yevhen Tkach.
The #WASHinWAR campaign and its humanitarian context were presented by the WASH programme team of Caritas Ukraine — Lesia Basarab and Olha Sydii — who highlighted the consequences of the destruction of water infrastructure, assistance to frontline communities, and the importance of advocacy in the face of upcoming humanitarian challenges.
The exhibition brings together more than 40 photographs by contemporary Ukrainian photographers documenting the impact of the war on water and the environment, as well as the lives of people in frontline regions. As part of the opening, a pre-premiere screening of the documentary film The White World took place, portraying the daily reality of war, evacuation, and human resilience.
The Lviv presentation marks a new phase of the #WASHinWAR campaign. Upcoming plans include international presentations and engagement with European audiences, in particular preparations for presenting the exhibition at the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo in spring 2026.
The exhibition can be visited at the Territory of Terror Museum,
45g Chornovola Avenue, Lviv, according to the museum’s opening hours:
Monday–Tuesday: closed; Wednesday–Thursday: 10:00–18:00; Friday–Sunday: 11:00–19:00.
