On 25–26 April in Kyiv, an international art and technology exhibition titled “Chornobyl. 40 Years Later. A History That Commands Responsibility” will take place, dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster.
The exhibition will serve as an open platform combining remembrance of Chornobyl, discussions on current nuclear safety issues, and visions of how these will shape the future.
Over the two days, the programme will feature thematic and public events focused on nuclear safety and the development of nuclear energy.
One of the key events on 25 April will be the National WiN Award-2026. This is the third annual ceremony recognising women professionals in Ukraine’s nuclear sector.
The award honours specialists working in nuclear and radiation safety, radioactive waste management, decommissioning, scientific research, public administration, and international cooperation.
The ceremony will also include the opening of the photo exhibition “Chornobyl: Women’s Fate”, created within the Women of Chornobyl initiative.
The exhibition presents 16 stories of women whose lives are connected to Chornobyl. These include workers of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, liquidators of the accident, internally displaced persons, and those currently working in the management of the exclusion zone and nuclear safety.
The organisers note that the exhibition reflects the link between past events and the present day.
One of the project participants, Nataliia Khodymchuk, was killed in November 2025 as a result of a Russian drone strike on her apartment. She was due to take part in the events alongside other women featured in the project. The war also affected other participants: a drone strike destroyed a house in the courtyard of Kateryna Hanzha, Alla Makarets, and Liudmyla Dzhulai.
The international art and technology exhibition “Chornobyl. 40 Years Later. A History That Commands Responsibility” will be held at the Toronto-Kyiv complex in Kyiv.
