Solomiya magazine hosts Berlin pop-up exhibition
Self-published magazine ‘soлomiya’ (“solomiya” as per Instagram tag) is hosting a pop-up exhibition in Berlin this summer. It finishes August 15th – be quick! Held at cultural platform and project space feldfünf in Berlin, Germany – ‘soлomiya’ is showcased within the space so viewers can read the stories held within its pages. The independent publication was founded in April 2022 by Berlin-based OSTKREUZ-photographer Sebastian Wells and Kyiv-based photographer Vsevolod Kazarin. The magazine was made “in response to the Russian war against Ukraine,” the Instagram post notes. “And aims to explore and expose the young cultural and artistic scene in Ukraine, promoting it in both Ukrainian and European cities.”
“The first issue titled ‘War but Art’ shows some of what has already been lost but even more of what needs to be defended. The publication contains works by Christina Erturk (Warsaw), Sasha Kurmaz (Kyiv), Sonya Marian (Kyiv), Vsevolod Kazarin (Kyiv), Mykola Ridnyi (Kyiv), Andrii Ushytskyi (Černivci/Kyiv), Sebastian Wells (Berlin/Ghent).” It also boasts typographic efforts donated by foundries for the publication, including Nice (by Jan Fromm and Fontwerk), Habitas (by Tighttype) and Grotta. The issue has a print run of 1,500 copies and is on sale within the exhibition and via their online shop here, and is currently retailed at €16 (approx £14).
