Ukrainians say: ДЯКУЮ*

To express gratitude towards people who are standing with Ukraine by showing up at protests, making donations and sharing their homes with refugees, we created a set of downloadable posters and social assets to say: “Дякую” (Thank You) for all the help Ukrainians have been receiving since the war started on 24.02.22.

People in 30 countries pasted posters around different cities, outside and in apartments, shops, companies, clubs, embassies… in 21 different languages. IG:@ukrainianssay.thankyou

the war of art

wordplay for sun tzu’s “the art of war”. russia uses art as a form of hybrid expansion — appropriation of artists, physical destroying of museums, works, libraries, stealing artifacts, pushing russian so called cultural products everywhere alongside with ukrainian art etc etc etc.

Diary about Everything I’m Worrying About

‘Diary about Everything I’m Worrying About’ is a participatory diary-constructor album designed for designers and illustrators. It serves as a ‘sketch it down, write it down’ tool for documenting one’s current state of mind. The album encapsulates a mix of worries, a blend of layers, and a chaos of meanings, all rooted in the shared war experiences across 25 Ukrainian regions. It features a colored cover and monochrome pages intended for sketching.

Levitate (Levітуй)

Levітуй is a collection of digital clothing inspired by the work of designer Myron Levitsky. The goal was to draw the attention to a whole layer of Ukrainian 20th-century artists and designers whose work deserves recognition.

Designers released this collection on DRESSX, the world’s first digital clothing marketplace. They donate 30% of the sales from this digital collection to support the Lviv Municipal Art Center. They also conducted a presentation about Myron Levitsky in Projector Library.

Soil

This painting depicts the soil, which is the container of physical events in this world. It is a reflection on the symbolism of the life-giving force that preserves in the soil a multilayered history and memory of past centuries. The earth remembers everything, but humans do not. The earth gives life and keeps the dead in it. Only people have the courage to talk about and explore the land without losing the balance between individualizing and contextualizing the vision of the past.
