Order of the Silent Women

by Kateryna Kalytko

Description

A portrait of a Ukrainian woman more often shows her being silent than speaking. However, without this silence there would be no voice that sounds in this collection. The voice that defends the right to speak sincerely about acute grief, generational traumas, the courage of love, and disappointment with emptiness behind masks. Since speaking out is the only way to remain oneself and to be the voice of hundreds speechless sisters.
