Sharing stories and images of war-ravaged Ukraine * Oregon ArtsWatch
Briefly

Photographer Christopher Briscoe has returned to Ukraine for the fourth time, documenting the nation’s resilience amid war. His journey reveals the courage of individuals reshaped by conflict, showcasing their humanity instead of merely portraying suffering. He is set to present his experiences and insights at an event on March 18, where he will discuss his photographic work and the forthcoming book, The Women of Ukraine. Briscoe's work reflects a deep commitment to storytelling, emphasizing the emotional and political stakes involved in the ongoing crisis, particularly regarding American support.
"Ukraine isn't just a place I visit. It's a part of me now. I'll keep returning as long as there are stories to tell."
"It's deepened my sense of responsibility as a storyteller. I don't just report, I carry these stories with me."
"Ukrainians see American support as the difference between survival and defeat. They follow every shift in U.S. policy because they know what's at stake."
"The idea of America turning its back on them isn't just political, it's personal. Despite everything, many here still believe in the values America once stood for."
