A PLATFORM FOR UKRAINIAN VOICES. A COLLECTIVE AGAINST PROPAGANDA.

Since 2025, we’ve been bringing together artists, filmmakers, musicians, and activists across borders. We create, collaborate, and fight for culture – and for truth. In a world flooded with disinformation, we believe art can cut through the noise. We give voice to the unheard, space to the unseen, and hope to the future.

Art is our voice. Creativity is our resistance. Join us.

Yulia Provorchenko
editor
Born in Shchastia, Luhansk region, Yuliia studied journalism in Luhansk. In 2014, war forced her to leave. She moved to Kyiv, thinking it was temporary. It wasn’t. She shifted from journalism to film, teaching herself to edit - and building a path as a director, editor, and co-founder of a creative studio. Over 8 years, she’s crafted stories for Visa, Rozetka, Suspilne Kultura, and Ukraine’s Armed Forces. Yuliia’s focus is on real people and real stories - vulnerable, complex, and full of strength. Her work documents not just events, but the quiet power of those who live through them.
