About
Being Ukraine is a creative collaboration featuring a batch of amazing Ukrainian artists.
The initiative started on Day 2 of the war. Through a series of art projects, we wanted to capture the immense strength, resilience, courage and perseverance of the Ukrainian people. We looked for stories – rooted in hope, dignity and our shared humanity – that evoke empathy, uplift and unite.
Being Ukraine is an initiative of Fine Acts, together with photographers Julia Kochetova and Mila Teshaieva, and studio WE BAD.
