On the first day of the Russian invasion
We are contacting photographers and authors who work in Ukraine to help spread
their stories. Here's the first one. Please share and join us in supporting
Ukrainians — the info is below.
On the first day of the invasion, nobody was ready for HOW nightmarish it would
be, nobody believed that this will end up with rocket strikes targeting civilian
neighborhoods of Kiyv and other cities. So, it is where we are now.

Balaganza
A spotlight on the drag queens in the only gay bar in Lithuania. Forcedly hidden from the public eye in the post-Soviet country, these performances seem too deliberately shocking for the part of the society.
Appalachia. Mountaintops to Moonscapes
Appalachia, Virginia is mainly known for two reasons. The first is that
it’s an incredibly resource-rich territory; it supplies two-thirds of the
nation’s coal reserves. Coal is an outdated energy source, which is
damaging to the environment as it’s slowly being phased throughout the
whole world in
Tea Women
Tea is one of the major discoveries from the East which completely transformed Western economies a few centuries ago. Unfortunately, as with many industries producing goods, we enjoy and can barely live without, exploitation is rife.
Missed Care
The referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU was one of the most divisive
moments in modern history — back in 2016 and ever since then, the country felt
more polarised than ever before with a clearly growing sense of “us” and “them”.
People were either unable to or would refuse to see some of the good points that
the other side was making. The Remain side was branded “Project Fear” as they
were providing predictions of what would happen. Some of these didn’t happen,
but others, unfortunately,
In-A-Gadda-Da-England
National oddities and peculiarities were the starting point for Edward Thompson’s project In-A-Gadda-Da-England. Born and bred in the U.K., he offers his viewers the perspective of an insider who had spend his whole life surrounded by British culture
After The Fall
After the Fall is a body of work by Stewart Weir documenting the fall of
the Taliban when the city of Herat was taken over by the Northern Alliance.
The images were taken almost 20 years ago, in 2002, shortly after the Twin
Towers in the US fell on September
Cinematic Decline
With Cinematic Decline — a continuation of Butler's 2019 series and book Odeon Relics — the author traces the remnants of what once were brand-new, purpose-built cinema venues, incongruous with their surroundings back then, and some of them are still so even now. The key point of difference here though, is that none of these buildings continue to screen films, instead they showcase the cinematic afterlife bingo, pubs, churches and dereliction.
Separation
The European Union, or the Council of Europe as it was known when it was founded
in 1949, brought in tremendous change to society permeating its very core. The
benefits were of economic, cultural and security nature but some also argued
that it erased their national identity. One of the biggest improvements, though,
was that one could travel, live and study in a place different from one’s birth
country unhindered — it has never been this easy to meet, fall in love with and
settle in with people
