The essence of photography is to catch the light. This is what makes photography an art form, which is especially important in these dark times. Our mission at Fotografiskas is to support artists and ensure that their voices are heard, as well as to showcase the world’s diverse palette. At a time when war is raging on the territory of Ukraine, just a few hundred kilometres from Estonia, it is time to turn our eyes towards Ukrainian photographers. We will show the work of 7 artists, men and women of different ages, experiences and backgrounds, while their lives are filled with violence. Through images and words, they tell us about their relationship with this war, their daily lives, their fears, their grief but also their hopes for the future. Our sincere thanks go to the photographers who, in these very difficult circumstances, found the time to make this project happen with us. The project was made in collaboration with Eric Schlosser, Artistic Director of the Tbilisi Art Fair. Eric has curated and organised numerous international photo and art projects for over 15 years.
