Icons on Ammo Boxes: Christian Art of Hope and Sorrow from the War in Ukraine
2026-05-14 09:30 - 16:00
Fairfield University is hosting an exhibition of Ukrainian sacred art created from ammunition boxes recovered from the front lines of the Russia-Ukraine war.

Since 2015, shortly after the outbreak of war between Russia and Ukraine, artists Sonia Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko have transformed fragments of ammunition boxes recovered from the front lines into sacred works of art. Drawing from the centuries-old tradition of Orthodox icon writing, their internationally recognized Icons on Ammo Boxes project bears witness to the tragedy of war while offering prayer and hope for a just peace.
The Icons on Ammo Boxes project has been displayed all over the world, including recently at the Scottish Parliament (2025), the Parliament of Finland (2025), and in Rome at St. Peter’s Cathedral (2025). Last year, in the exhibition Wartime Beauty, the project was on display at Fordham University’s Refuge Gallery through the university’s Orthodox Christian Studies Center. The project supports volunteer initiatives dedicated to helping soldiers and civilians who have suffered injury, trauma, and displacement due to the war.

Depart Community Center 9:30 a.m.

Donations Welcome!

The Mad River String Quartet is a project from four of America’s most dynamic chamber musicians. Annie Trepanier and Steve Larson played together for two decades in Avery Ensemble (among many other projects together) and have performed alongside Aaron Packard for over ten years as members of Cuatro Puntos Ensemble and at the Loon Lake Live! festival. Several years ago they were joined by Rebecca Patterson, former cellist of the award-winning chamber music and contemporary ensemble Antares. The chemistry was immediate and undeniable! These four passionate musicians are dedicated to performing American chamber music of all genres, styles and eras, from arrangements of folk and gospel songs, early trio sonatas and romantic era string quartets, to ragtime, jazz and fiddle influenced music as well as the wonderful variety of newer thrilling voices. Their programs also include fresh looks at the rich and varied body of the standard string quartet repertoire from the classical to the contemporary.​
