Larger than life silhouettes depicting the suffering of the people of Ukraine are coming to Eastbourne.
The art installation created by the community group Standing with Giants has been touring the country and will arrive in Terminus Road on Wednesday, May 31 around 1pm and will be exhibited until June 14.
The 13ft high silhouettes, which show a soldier holding a baby whilst leading a refugee mother and child to safety, aim to highlight the plight of those suffering in war-torn Ukraine.
Dan Barton's artwork is touring towns and cities along the south coast before it's taken across the channel to Brussels.
To date the installation has been displayed in Oxford, Salisbury, Bournemouth, Southampton, Portsmouth, Worthing, Brighton and now Eastbourne.
Ukrainian refugees and charities have been visiting the installation on its journey as a place to reflect and come together to remember their homeland.
The Ukraine tribute is one of a number of art installations created by Standing with Giants, including the Falklands, Dambusters and NHS heroes.
Dan Barton said:
“Ukrainian refugees and charities have been invited to visit and use the installation to help raise awareness and funds for those suffering in Ukraine.”
“Art can send a powerful message to aggressors and show a meaningful message of solidarity to those in need. Everywhere we take this sculpture, we see an outpouring of emotion.”
