Resilience debuted in Charlotte in 2022, and is presently on tour to a number of American venues. It invites discussion of a range of timely topics, including the iconic role of grandmothers in Ukrainian culture, the country\u2019s history, traditions and today\u2019s war.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery one of these images is intensely personal to me because I was invited into people\u2019s homes and lives,\u201d says Andrews. \u201cThey and the people I love in Ukraine are still very much a part of me. I hope people get a sense of the beauty and uniqueness of Ukrainian culture from these images and what is at risk of being lost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Toe River Arts Kokol Gallery is at 269 Oak Avenue, Spruce Pine.
