Details about an art show to benefit Ukraine this weekend at C-Squat

This weekend, Seth Tobocman and Tamara Wyndham are hosting a benefit titled "STOP THE INVASION! An Exhibit of Artists Protesting the Russian Invasion of Ukraine" at the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space/C-Squat on Avenue C.

Here's more about it via Facebook:
This is a traveling exhibit, which was first shown in New York at the First Presbyterian Church on 12th Street and then again at the Unitarian Church of Staten Island. The show is now making its way to the Lower East Side.
This art show includes artists holding many different political and philosophical beliefs, working in different styles, from graphic novels to photojournalism, from Fusionism to fashion design, and more abstract pieces. The artists come from many different countries including Ukraine, Russia, Italy, France, the UK, the USA, Israel, and Palestine.

All are united on one point: The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a catastrophe with repercussions felt far outside of Ukraine. The only resolution is for the Russian military to leave Ukraine completely, to return illegally occupied territories, answer for crimes they continue to commit, and pay reparations for the damage they continue to cause. This — and only this — will end the violence and suffering.

The purpose of the show is to demonstrate that all over the world, people of good conscience condemn this invasion.
Attendees can find a variety of items for sale, including zines, cassettes (Band Together donated a collection) and some rare World/Inferno Friendship Society vinyl records. All proceeds are going to benefit Razom for Ukraine.

The space is open from 2-8 p.m. this weekend. You can access the free show via MoRUS, 155 Avenue C between Ninth Street and 10th Street.
