’Erase the Nation’ directed by Tomasz Grzywaczewski, shows the destruction of Ukraine’s cultural heritage, having been carried out by the Russian Federation’s troops since 24 February 2022. The film shows the deliberate destruction of Ukrainian monuments from Lviv, Chernivtsi, Ivankiv, Kyiv, and Kharkiv to Izium and Bohorodychy in eastern Ukraine. The crimes committed against secular and religious cultural heritage, from archaeological monuments to modern libraries and schools. Testimonies by Ukrainian cultural representatives paint a picture of a deliberate struggle of barbaric invaders against Ukrainian identity, for which Ukrainian heroes are giving their lives.The film made by NID TV was commissioned by the Polish National Institute of Cultural Heritage within the framework of activities of the Support Center for Culture in Ukraine. It was financed from funds from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.

Our version presents a selection of historical drawings of Polish children from 1946, which are a record of their experiences during World War II, and contemporary drawings of Ukrainian children related to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The exhibition will be on display in Kungsträdgården 14 March – 4 April 2023.
