We focus on educational, social, research and cultural projects for the development and popularization of Ukrainian photography aimed at uniting the Ukrainian photo community, promoting cultural exchange, establishing international partnerships and grant cooperation.
Our research projects are aimed at preserving and popularizing the history of Ukrainian photography, documenting and archiving iconic works to make them accessible to future generations.
We conduct a mentoring program and micro-grants for young Ukrainian photographers and artists in the format of online lectures, artist talks, Q&A sessions and individual consultations with mentors.
We organize exhibitions that help Ukrainian photographers to express themselves and their works on a global level. And we apply to the development and popularization of Ukrainian photographic art at the international and national level.
We are engaged in the creation and popularization of photo books that demonstrate the creativity of Ukrainian photographers. Our goal is to ensure a high level of publication and promote their dissemination among a wide audience.
