The photo book "Brave to Bring the Light" about the most difficult winter in the history of independent Ukraine so far includes photographs by more than 30 Ukrainian authors who documented the energy crisis caused by the Russian military's attack on Ukrainian infrastructure facilities during the fall of 2022, winter and spring of 2023. But above all, this is a visual publication about the struggle of Ukrainians for light, both inside and outside, and about the courage of each and every one of them to continue working in their fields, because darkness disappears where light comes out. The publication includes a foreword by the famous Ukrainian cultural figure Vlad Troitsky, as well as accompanying texts to three chapters and captions to the authors' photographs that further expand the context.
