Brendan Hoffman, photographer-in-residence at the Daily Freeman-Journal, brings his exhibit of photographs entitled War in Ukraine to Webster City Jan. 20 through 26.
The war in eastern Ukraine began nearly six years ago. After showing the work last year at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art in Chicago, photographer Brendan Hoffman brings an exhibition of his pictures from Ukraine here to Webster City. With Ukraine repeatedly making headlines, Hoffman offers a nuanced perspective on this ongoing crisis.
