On January 24, the Panorama Gallery (22nd floor) hosted the grand opening of the photo exhibition “Invisible heroes”.

The exhibition is organized jointly with the Belarusian Children's Hospice public charity organization. The goal is to draw attention to the problem of childhood diseases and hospice activities, to support patients and their families, and to acquaint the general public with the problems of such families through strong and deep photographic images.

"Invisible Heroes" shows life as a miracle, where each participant is a mighty kind wizard. The exhibition was carried out thanks to the talent of photographers Ksenia Legovich (volunteer, student) and Ulyana Kazakevich (hospice employee), who organized the photography on a charitable basis.


The exhibition features portraits of hospice wards, who appear in the images of Belarusian mythical characters, heroes of Belarusian fairy tales. 45 photos are windows into the world of dreams and hope, the world of strong support, strength and wisdom of traditional folk culture. Each powerful essence of the ancient Belarusian folklore possessed not only magical abilities, but also a difficult character. Both the external features and the character of mythical creatures are conveyed by the characters vividly, expressively, eloquently and picturesquely. 9 real heroes become 9 mythical entities represented in the photo series.

A visit to the exposition is included in the cost of visiting the observation deck.
The mode of operation of the exhibition corresponds to the mode of operation of the observation deck.
