Founded in Kyiv in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, she focuses on underrepresented discourses and subjective ideas, and connects cities and cultures across the globe. At the heart of the collective’s practice is the publication of the English-language printed magazine \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSolomiya\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. The collective also curates public programs and exhibitions, and produces works both by its members and in collaboration with artists, writers, collectives, and designers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"solomiya-nº3","title":"Solomiya Nº3","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe third issue of Solomiya is as desperate as it is full of love, beauty, courage, and an unsettling longing for “a journey, an escape, and freedom,” as Yevhen, a young soldier from Odesa, puts it in War Dreams, a poignant series of portraits by Italian photographers Caimi\u0026amp;Piccini. While raising questions about masculinity in war through the recent work of Vsevolod Kazarin, Alex Mashtaler’s yet unpublished photographs juxtapose the innocence of youth with the unforgiving harshness of reality—a reality shaped by Ukraine’s colonial past and a present challenged by ongoing militarization. While Ivanna Kozachenko and the artist collective Commercial Public Art dissect the spatial strategies of the architecture built by Russian forces in the occupied territories of Ukraine, the writings of Lucy Zoria and Sebastian Wells offer diverse insights into the lived experiences of young Ukrainians abroad.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KD PRESSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57266223350100,"sku":"SOLOMIYA3","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/4727\/9700\/files\/Solomiya3_ph-2.jpg?v=1790246644"},{"product_id":"solomiya-nº5","title":"Solomiya Nº5","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eSolomiya No. 5—After Now\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e reflects on hope and freedom not as a triumph, but as a complex, often compromised condition, entangled in inequality, shaped by trauma, and co-opted by power. By gathering voices from Yemen to Ukraine, from Georgia to Germany, we turn our attention to the present conditions shaping the paths that futures may follow. With contributions from 21 artists, journalists and scientists, we navigate the deadlocks of communication and the paradox of imagining a post-war future within ongoing war. They hold space for doubt, contradiction, and the possibility of being wrong—through testimonies of soldiers and veterans, and expressions of embodied experiences of dancers, imagined chess figures, dopamine supermen, astronauts, and dried watermelons.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KD PRESSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57267086983508,"sku":"SOLOMIYA5","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/4727\/9700\/files\/Solomiya5_ph-2_5bd7135a-f8bb-46ef-bd98-7d2cd01b0fb5.jpg?v=1790255194"},{"product_id":"solomiya-nº6","title":"Solomiya Nº6","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe reader \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eState of the Nation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e reflects multiple experiences of not belonging in the nationally prescribed sense, and instead explores the heights and abysses of the in-between: through movement and migration, through doubts about the prospects of the war, through a longing for forms of political subjectivity that are not organised along national lines. It questions traditions that have long served as carriers of national sentiment in Germany since the Nazi era; reflects on the relationship between decoloniality and nationalism in the contemporary art world; uses counter-mapping to understand the political imagination of ancient Mediterranean societies; searches for possibilities of mini-solidarities between Estonians and Russophone Estonians in Narva; delves into new forms of artistic mentorship that help to escape the shackles of the postcolonial era in Ghana; and playfully reflects on the Minute of Silence in Ukraine—a nationwide ritual recently enshrined in law.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KD PRESSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57267120734548,"sku":"SOLOMIYA6","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/4727\/9700\/files\/Solomiya6_ph-2_b35e2f6b-55cb-4343-9a58-2d2bd0b0dc3d.jpg?v=1790255318"}],"url":"https:\/\/kdpresse.com\/en\/collections\/solomiya.oembed","provider":"KD PRESSE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
