A moving photographic exhibition which captured the resilience and determination of Ukrainian women who have made Farnham their home is taking the high road.

The Unbowed: Stories of Ukraine exhibition which features the stories and portraits of its countrywomen who met through an arts-for-wellbeing program in Farnham continues to gain acclaim.

The powerful exhibition first went on show in the Vernon House gallery of Creative Response in March and has since been displayed in Alton’s Allen Gallery and an Oxford college.

Its next stop could be north of the border as the Edinburgh Society are keen to bring it to Scotland’s capital.

The participants – who recalled their personal experiences of leaving friends and family in Ukraine, living in the UK, and the ongoing trauma of the war – were taught photography by Natalia Sharamova.

She’s keen on taking the exhibition to Scotland as her mother lives in Edinburgh and is well-known because of her links with its Burns Supper Club.

She’s also keen to bring the exhibition to new audiences, as the accounts sadly remain relevant with the conflict showing no signs of ending.

She said: “When we started the project we started collecting all these stories, then we got some from Alton.

“Then we went to Oxford and had the exhibition there. Now we’re planning to go to Edinburgh with the portraits.

“People are interested and it’s really interesting to know the stories of the women. Some people in the exhibition were under occupation and it was horrible for them.”

There is some good news, as a bid to find Natalia a new home in Farnham was successful as the photojournalist from Kyiv struggled for 18 months to find a suitable place in town.

“It’s good now, but I felt so helpless about finding somewhere and I was looking in all places,” she said.
