Mitchelstown Library will host an exhibition of contemporary photography of the war in Ukraine for the month of February, with the official opening of the exhibition this Friday afternoon.
‘Ukraine: The Price of Freedom’ has already been on display in the The Irish Emigration Museum in Dublin, as well as St Peter’s in Cork. Now, the collection of works by Ukrainian and international photographers are on display in Mitchelstown Library.
