About Child of War:
Award winning war artist Arabella Dorman is pleased to announce Child of War, a major new exhibition, created in response to current global events and Dorman’s experience of working as a war artist across the Middle East and Ukraine. Showcasing Dorman’s latest paintings and installation work alongside artwork by children from around the world, Child of War explores the devastating consequences of conflict from a child’s perspective, as seen and told through their own hands and voices.

Held in collaboration with the mental health charity Beyond Conflict and the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral, the exhibition will feature art and literature by children from Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan and Britain. Curated by Dorman and based on her first-hand experience as a war artist for nearly two decades, the exhibition will form a dialogue between the artist and the child, revealing the profound and lasting psychological impact of conflict-related trauma, the possibility of hope and renewal, and the ways in which children of today may be rehabilitated and supported in our increasingly divided and violent world.

This landmark Exhibition is a response to all children impacted by all wars.

Child of War is a collaborative exhibition, held in partnership with Beyond Conflict, the Ukrainian Welcome Centre, the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral & War through Children’s Eyes.
