WOMEN FIGHTERS IN SYRIA UKRAINE: A YOUTH BETWEEN WAR AND PEACE…

Ukraine is in the throes of an endless conflict between the Donbas territories and the government in Kyiv. Despite the ceasefire agreements, the war continues and is bogged down, profoundly transforming the whole of Ukrainian society and, above all, the youth. "It is over 38° C on this Sunday in August in Donetsk, the streets are empty, a few kilometers away, it's the front line, sporadic detentions. nothing abnormal, it's routine here!" So explains Oleg, an impressive man in his forties, a former mercenary who once fought in Chechnya and Afghanistan. Oleg takes us to the scene of a "military game," a life-size war game around Donetsk. "Today, we will imitate the war in Syria!" He exclaims. We get into a military truck with a dozen pre-teens or young adults, five…

Our brain is organized so that it analyses and memorizes visual information faster than any text. A spectator is always curious to see what is left outside the camera’s view. There is hardly a better way to tell stories of people’s lives other than via visual imagery. Handicraft – from the beginning and up to the end of each operation. It is not an automated process but significant experience, expertise, and a bit of spontaneity and freedom of artistic creativity. My ongoing series of pieces first started in 2017, depicts contemporary Russian monumental artists in their workspaces. MONUMENTUM presents an inextricable connection between the artists and the space that surrounds them. With no claim to sophistication, the interiors of the studios contain a lot of details that might seem rather…

The Kurdish people, known for their independence demands, have particularly distinguished themselves in the fight against Daesh. The capture of Raqqa in 2017, the capital of Daesh, was a symbol of this. At the heart of this struggle, women have always occupied a place. In support of combatants or arms in hand, they have decided to establish themselves as a recourse against the obscurantism of Daesh in order to rebuild, on the ashes of the Caliphate, a peaceful and equal society. In the midst of chaos, the women of peace are on all fronts and are looking to the future. By arms or not, Kurdish women have always taken part in combat. Participating in the care of the wounded or supplying the forces engaged, some have chosen to take up…

Holger Hoffmann has traveled together with his wife Sylvia Furrer on more than 75 trips since 1977 and has visited 60 countries outside Europe. In 1995 they founded chaostours.ch. Sylvia is the director, Holger the guide, and they are so far the only customers, but very satisfied with the self-organizing way of traveling. That keeps them open-minded to the unexpected. The longer they travel together, the more they become fascinated by the customs and the daily life of indigenous people who preserve their traditional culture. They developed a profound respect for these people who subsist in remote areas under harsh living conditions such as in the extreme cold of Siberia, the hot desert of the Danakil, the wet jungle in West Papua, or the high mountains in the Himalayas. Nomadic…

Sara Victoria Sandberg is a photo composite artist based in Stockholm. To go beyond the boundaries of the real world and to create imaginative scenes has always been her wish. Her digital technologies combined with her own photography and vision enable Sara to create artwork full of imagination, beauty, and mystery. The practice of drawing and watercolors throughout the years are skills that have served to shape her painterly thinking and translate it into the digital medium. Sara has developed a personal style in her work where she combines photography and digital painting with her artistic vision. She works with light and shadow to carefully mold and craft the scene she visualizes into a finished piece adopting a combination of photo-realism and painterly style. The creation of mood and atmosphere…

My face and body are the main instruments I use to incarnate the images I want. Standing in front of the camera as a model, I follow the age-old theatrical playing roles. It gives impetus to the development of my own manner of narration. A part of my work, shooting, is akin to a theatrical performance. An urge to tell the viewer about emotions and feelings manifests itself through the characters in dialogues with the audience. REVIVAL 2014 – 2017 Early on, Katerina Belkina (b. 1974) knew about her exceptional talent to see the world through different eyes. Born in Samara in the southeast of European Russia, she was raised in a creative atmosphere by her mother, a visual artist. Her education at the Art Academy and the School for…

“This work, 'In the Garden at Chislehurst', is my navigation through 2020. My day job is as a nanny & by entering the world of a four-year-old, I was able to escape the pandemic and find a beautiful space in the garden, a reminder that beauty is always here for us, no matter what unfortunate circumstance is around us. It raises the question, do we believe, as Einstein said, "Is the universe a friendly place?" I had forgotten that it was. The news was telling me every day that it wasn't. So many deaths. Every sneeze, every cough, was it the pandemic? Was death closing in? How close could I get to another human? Would this child understand why I was masked, why he couldn't see my smile, why we…
