On July 8, within the framework of the annual WARM Festival 2022, the "Mariupol" exhibition was opened, featuring works by documentarians and this year's laureates of the Georgiy Gongadze Prize — Mstyslav Chernov and Yevhen Maloletka. The festival took place in Sarajevo, in the building of the Red Cross Society.
The exhibit showcased works created from the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion on February 24th until mid-March. The aftermath of the bombings of the maternity hospital and residential areas, ruins, mass burials, city residents hiding in basements and shelters, overcrowded hospitals — the documentarians managed to capture the atrocities of the Russian army and present them to the world. At that time, they were the only photographers covering events in besieged Mariupol, risking their lives.
