About The Event
We are pleased to partner with the Ukrainian Institute of America in support of the launching event of SHATTERED: Artists Inspired by Artists, a visually stunning, deeply moving ekphrastic collection of poetry and artwork responding to the war in Ukraine. Featuring works by women poets from around the globe—including Ukraine, Romania, Canada, the UK, and the US—alongside evocative visuals by Romanian-Canadian artist Oana Maria Cajal, the book is both a lament and a call to action. The event, hosted by La Mama Community Arts Space, brings together compelling poetry readings, a striking exhibition of picto impulses by Oana Maria Cajal – first presented at RCI New York in 2023 – and live performances that bridge cultures and voices in the name of solidarity. Editors and contributing poets like Cristina A. Bejan, Olena Jennings, Ruth Margraff, and Claudia Serea will take the stage, along with actress Carla Francesca, to honor the courage and resilience of the Ukrainians.
