Unbowed: Stories of Ukraine, documents the women's lives in the UK and what they have left behind.

It has been led by Kyiv photojournalist Natalia Sharomova, who fled Ukraine with her two children.

She said: "This photo project is about gentle and resolute women.

"These are not only our stories. I believe they can support and inspire others not to give up, even if you have lost everything."

She taught portrait photography to the other women in the group, which was founded in November 2022, with their pictures and words making up the exhibition.

Creative Response is a charity which offers arts workshops to people experiencing mental health or physical difficulties.

Kathryn McManus, its chief executive, said: "This exhibition is an important record of the experiences of members of our Ukraine art group, as well as a stunning exhibition of portrait photography."
