Russian Invasion Threatens Ukrainian Cultural Heritage and Institutions

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has placed the country's historical institutions and cultural heritage at severe risk. This conflict endangers numerous museums, archives, and historical sites across Ukraine. Meanwhile, in Brazil, the Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (MAM Rio) is presenting its largest-ever sculpture exhibition, titled "Estado Bruto." The exhibition showcases a significant collection of sculptural works, representing a major undertaking for the institution. These two events highlight contrasting cultural realities: one of preservation under threat and another of ambitious artistic presentation.
