The Art of 2020 is a powerful visual chronicle curated by the Arts & Cultural Subcommittee of the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations (AFUO). Created in response to the profound challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, this book reflects on the intersection of multicultural identity, community resilience, wellbeing, and creative expression during a time of global uncertainty.

Featuring artwork from individuals of all ages within the Australian Ukrainian community—and their loved ones abroad—the collection captures the emotional and cultural experience of a year unlike any other. Despite physical distance, this community remained connected through art, offering a heartfelt lens into how creativity became a unifying force in isolation.

Through painting, drawing, and mixed media, The Art of 2020 documents the shared human experience of living through a pandemic, while celebrating the enduring spirit and diversity of multicultural Australia. This book stands as both a historical record and a tribute to the power of artistic expression in times of crisis.
