Additional information
by Daoud Sarhandi-Williams (Author), Andrey Kurkov (Foreword by)
A unique book that showcases how Ukrainian society is expressing itself through art.
War came to Ukraine in February 2022; it was uninvited--although not entirely unexpected given Russia's steady, massive troop build-up on Ukraine's eastern border over the winter. When war exploded, millions of people around the world watched it compulsively on TV. Daoud Sarhandi-Williams--author of the internationally-acclaimed Bosnian War Posters--traveled to Ukraine in the summer of 2022 to photograph street art. He gathered a lot more images besides--as well as a trove of extraordinary war poetry by Ukrainian citizens, shared internationally here for the first time. The author brings all these elements together in an original, multi-layered visual book that is moving, profound, and painfully beautiful. With over 400 photos and artworks by the author and other contributors, the 320 pages of this book are a tribute to Ukraine's courage, heroism and struggle--and to her creativity, too. Ukraine at War is a unique artistic testament to Ukrainian resilience and to world-changing events that are far from over. If you want to know what's in the heart of the Ukrainian people, look no further than this stunning book.
