Ukraine Now draws on work created by 16 Ukrainian artists, juxtaposing images from before the Russian invasion with arresting photographs documenting today’s devastation in real time. The exhibition, supported by Photofusion and updated with new images from photographers on the ground in Ukraine, is curated by Kateryna Radchenko from her home country.

“It’s important to show what is happening in Ukraine now,” says Kateryna. “Yes, there are many international journalists in Ukraine, covering the events daily. However, there is a big difference between pictures taken by journalists, temporarily visiting, and photographers shooting in their home cities and towns. The latter know the context and have no opportunity to go back home to a safe place after completing their assignment.”

Kateryna’s intention is unequivocal: “We must tell our story to prevent it from happening ever again, or being silenced.”

The exhibition is organized in partnership with Odesa Photo Days, an international festival of contemporary photography, based in Ukraine.

All funds raised will go directly to the Ukrainian Charity Foundation The Depths of Art.
