More than a dozen veteran conflict photographers will show their work in a benefit exhibition, URGENCY! Ukraine, opening at the Bronx Documentary Center on June 22 at 6PM. Curated by Ukrainian-American photographer Sasha Maslov, New York Times photo editor Cecilia Bohan and BDC Director Michael Kamber, the exhibition will feature more than 50 photos showing the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Photos will be sold to raise money for Ukrainian journalists, via the 24.02 Journalism Emergency Fund. 

A panel discussion will be held on Tuesday, June 28th, at 7PM, with photographers included in the show; the exhibition will remain on view until July 7th. This exhibition is part of the BDC's URGENCY! Series.

Ukrainian service members walk down a street littered with burned out Russian military vehicles and and debris caused by heavy fighting in the town of Bucha, Ukraine, on Wednesday, April 6, 2022. Bucha was declared liberated of Russian forces on March 31 by the town’s mayor, Anatoly Fedoruk. In the wake of Russia’s occupation of the town though, hundreds of bodies of mostly civilians have been found bound and killed, while cars carrying civilians who appeared to be attempting to flee were riddled with bullets in various locations around the area, pointing to allegations of war crimes carried out by retreating Russian forces. © Nicole Tung for Harper's Magazine
