The Image of a Place
Three winters ago Anne Erhard’s father unexpectedly passed away on a journey far
away from home. A journey which, like all journeys, he was meant to return from.
His untimely death was distressing to his young daughter but at the same time it
reminded her how fragile human life is — we never know when or how we will meet
our demise. The only certainty is that eventually, we will.
> Death is a question of containment. For a long time, attempts at understanding
felt like trying to empty the ocean
Fire Corps
The concept (and practice) of voluntary work brings out the best of people.
Volunteers not only don’t get paid, they also give their time, passion and
effort to a cause that they believe is worth fighting for. Johan Brooks
presents us with the story of the Fire Corps — groups
The 2nd day. What it means to be there
Oleksandr Khomenko [https://www.facebook.com/oleksandr.khomenko] is a Kyiv-based
photographer who shows life in Ukraine as it is in independent media like
hromadske.ua [https://en.hromadske.ua/] and Ukrainer [https://ukrainer.net/en/].
For the second day, people with emergency bags and pets have been staying at the
Kyiv subway stations. The entrance is free.
Many people have found shelter at the ‘Politekhnichnyi Instytut’ metro station —
the hall is full. They are sitting on their suitcases,
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
The Sunshiners. Code Red in Green China
Plastic pollution may seem to be something that doesn’t have a monumental
impact on our daily lives right now, but issues like climate change and
pollution do not take a gradual curve. They do not have to slowly
deteriorate, kindly giving us enough time to notice that something is
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.

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,
Hors-Jeu (Offside)
When we think of homosexuality, the world had made huge leaps in recent
years. Gay marriage is now legal in the US and the UK, protections from
discrimination exist in law, gay people are allowed to adopt children —
events that we have come to accept as normal, as they should
Kibera
Edwin Ndeke’s body of work focuses on Kibera — one of the largest urban
settlements in the world which is situated on the periphery of Nairobi,
Kenya’s capital with a population of approximately 2.5 million. Poverty,
disease and crime are not uncommon when discussing Kenya and Africa in
A frightening lull in anticipation of the unknown
Imagine being there, in full absence of clarity what's going to happen next
minute, hour and day. Is there a future? If so, how does it look? The whole
world can not answer this question facing a tyrannous psycho, a hostage of his
own crimes on a global scale, entangled in his own lies. All we admire, adore and pray for the Ukrainian people whose will for freedom is
the most inspiring thing these days.
