The "Winners" photo project, which features photos of wounded Ukrainian soldiers, was made in cooperation between VIVA! magazine, the 1+1 TV channel and the Alexander Morderer art studio. It was exhibited at Taras Shevchenko National Museum.

“Winners” is a project that tells the stories of soldiers and volunteers who have lost their limbs during the war in Eastern Ukraine. It is based on a series of photographic works of famous Ukrainian photographer Olersand Morderer and art-director Tetiana Rybljova, which demonstrate that people with prosthetic limbs are still full members of society, and just like others, they are happy, beautiful and ready to start a new life.

The project was made to support the development of modern prosthetics in Ukraine.

In 2016, the photo exhibit will be shown in the U.S. and Canada.

The exhibition will be shown at Taras Shevchenko National Museum until Feb. 17. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the address of the museum is 12 Taras Shevchenko Blvd. in Kyiv.
