Artwork Gallery – Magazine Issue 3. Color vibe

Intro from editor: Summer is a time of bright colors, emotions, and impressions. But each person is an individual and has a personal perception! We offer you to look at the participant artists and see for yourself. In this issue, you have collected unusual areas of work where there is both lightness and sadness, a mixture of traditional materials, digital work ... but not only a white surface serves as "canvases" for our artists - these are the walls of houses, everyday clothes, a sculpture that fits on the palm. Read and find sources of inspiration or your like-minded people on the pages of this magazine. Soak up the mood of different cultures and views, put down this magazine, and create something of your own - in your own colors and medium! Interviews: ■ Katya Taylor | Port of Culture ■ Olesia Tkachenko ■ Ruta Jansone ■ Marianna Nerozna ■ Ana Jošović Represented artists: Eva Alvor, Kateryna Bortsova, Karina Danylchuk, Valentina Diena, Joseph Dulin- Didonato, Wendy Guagenti, Parastoo Haddadi, Liza Illichmann, Molood Jannesari, Baharak Jourabchi, Yulia Kapustynska, Oleksandra Kulikovska, Yuliia Lyshanets, Juyi Mao, Mina Mehdizadeh Fard, Fernanda Morales Tovar, Maryna Mural, Olena Ponomarova, Parnian Pourmovahed, Saharrococo, Mahsa Se, Shabnam Sharghi Ahvazi, Margarita Stepanova, Olena Stremouchova, Tina Striuk, Olha Trikolich, Olena Yemelianova, Yeonhye Park Front cover artist Mahsa Se @mahsase__art

The creation of the “Grains of Culture” mural was quite extensive. As part of the<br />

work, you conducted a master class and painted city buses. How much time was<br />

invested in the work on the project?<br />

In general, it takes about 4 months from<br />

the idea to go to Nairobi to the day of the<br />

presentation. But in fact, the process began<br />

to move in early February, and already at the<br />

end of the month, we were in Kenya. The<br />

project was larger than in European cities<br />

because it was in Africa. Little is known<br />

about Ukraine and the war there. People<br />

are not very interested in politics, and what<br />

they know about Ukraine is not always to<br />

our advantage. Plus, there is strong Russian<br />

propaganda in Africa.<br />

Ukraine lags behind in terms of African<br />

diplomatic presence. Therefore, creating a<br />

cultural project in Africa and in Europe are<br />

completely different things. Understanding<br />

that simply painting a mural will not be<br />

enough, we developed a series of events<br />

and media events that drew attention to the<br />

Ukrainian issue through culture. This is how<br />

the master class for artists, the painting of<br />

city transport, the performance of TVORCHI<br />

and the presentation of the project for a<br />

local establishment appeared.<br />

That is, the whole month we did various<br />

events that attracted the attention of to<br />

Ukraine to different audiences. And the<br />

final event was the opening of the mural.<br />

This raised many important questions. In<br />

a certain sense, we brought the Ukrainian<br />

agenda into the Kenyan media space.<br />
