In response to wars in Ukraine, the Middle East and elsewhere in the world, Beyond Conflict, the mental health charity for victims of war, is proud to present Child of War, a landmark exhibition by the award-winning war artist Arabella Dorman. This Exhibition is for all children in all wars, with particular focus on Ukraine, exploring the devastating impact on children’s lives and their mental health, from a child’s perspective. Child of War showcases Dorman’s new paintings inspired by her recent trip to Ukraine, as well as a powerful installation of artefacts from a bombed school in Kyiv and large-scale collages depicting hundreds of images and words from children around the world. This Exhibition is the result of two decades of Dorman’s work in war zones, as well as the fruit of her work with Beyond Conflict, for whom she is Ambassador. The Exhibition is also in collaboration with the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral, the Ukrainian Welcome Centre (UWC) and War Through Children’s Eyes (WTCE). Arabella Dorman’s Child of War features art and essays by children from all faiths and cultures from Britain and around the world, relating to conflicts in Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and beyond. Curated by Dorman and based on her first-hand experience as a war artist, the exhibition forms a powerful dialogue between artist and 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 war may be rehabilitated and supported in our increasingly divided and violent world. The Exhibition is free and runs from 22 May to June 6, 2024. Money raised during this period will be in aid of Beyond Conflict, a British registered charity, and our partner, the Ukrainian Welcome Centre, which helps Ukrainian refugees in the UK. After its launch in London, Child of War will be taken on tour by Dorman and Beyond Conflict to schools, places of worship and secular venues with the aim o
