The CRYONES art book was presented at the “SENS” bookstore on Khreshchatyk
A presentation of the CRYONES art book was held at the “SENS” bookstore on International Children’s Day. This is a collection of 15 “non-childish children’s stories” about young heroes who survived the trauma of war, transforming their greatest fears into strength.
It contains works of art, commentary by qualified psychologists and art curators, and is additionally accompanied by exhibitions in iconic locations across Europe.
The authors play with the word “crayons,” which means colored pencils in English, transforming it into “cry ones” – “those who cry.”
