The exhibition showcases works by talented artists living in Ukraine and Northern Ireland, who have dedicated their art to supporting Ukraine. 

Mr Baker said: ”It was a deeply moving experience to view such amazing artwork by artists whose response to Russia’s illegal invasion was to create art and who have generously donated their pieces to help provide humanitarian aid to those affected by the war. 

“The UK Government continues to stand with Ukraine, its democratically-elected government and its brave people at this awful time.”

The exhibition runs until February 26 at the Belfast campus.
