We are not just on the threshold of a new era in Ukraine's history, we have already taken a step forward and crossed that threshold. Since February 24, 2022, we have been collectively building a new Ukraine at the cost of incredible efforts, painful transformations, and, unfortunately, human losses. The goal of this project is to convey the significance of the changes our state is undergoing and to highlight the value of documentary photography, which, in wartime, serves not only as a source of testimony to events but also as a powerful weapon against propaganda and the distortion of history.
The virtual gallery features both well-known images that have become part of world history—such as the aftermath of the airstrike on the maternity hospital in Mariupol, cities liberated from Russian occupation, and mass graves containing thousands of innocent Ukrainians—as well as unpublished photographs. Each image in the gallery symbolizes the struggle, unity, and resilience of the Ukrainian people. East and West, politicians and ordinary citizens, military personnel and civilians—everyone has come together in a shared desire to resist the enemy and defend their land.
Not only have we, the citizens of Ukraine, united, but the entire world has rallied around us, horrified by the atrocities committed by Russian occupiers and, at the same time, inspired by the courage and steadfastness of Ukrainians. We are not alone; we have truth, strength, and the support of the entire civilized world, as this is a war for democratic values upheld by all countries where democracy and freedom of speech prevail.
In this project, we explore the chronicles of the war in Ukraine, witnessed by dozens of Ukrainian photographers. Their photographs have helped create a unique artistic space that will mark the beginning of a new era in Ukraine's history and showcase it to the world.
Our goal is to support Ukrainian documentarians who constantly risk their lives and face not only physical harm but also threats and immense pressure for covering the "inconvenient" truths about the occupiers. The information front is as crucial as the military front, and the courage of documentary photographers who reveal the true events of the war is comparable to that of soldiers bearing arms.
We believe that history without photography is merely words. Unfortunately, in the modern world, few people believe in words alone. Photography serves as an undeniable document that conveys the truth and prevents the distortion and rewriting of our history.
