At the Ukrainian contemporary art exhibition "Tension, resistance, love. Short version" at the art station "Dubulti", the Museum of Contemporary Art of Ukraine (UMCA) presents its first international project in Latvia, telling about warnings that many did not want to see, about decisions that must be made by everyone, and about precious moments that can be experienced in the darkest times.
