The Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers (UAPF) has become a partner of the "From Country to Country" festival, which aims to help local communities in eastern Ukraine fill their cities with an atmosphere of unity, support and a sense of Ukrainian spirit.

‗From Country to Country' is a large-scale cultural and educational festival launched in 2014 that travels to small towns in the eastern regions of Ukraine, telling about the diversity of our country's cultural heritage through lectures and workshops, as well as introducing modern Ukrainian technologies and contemporary Ukrainian music of various genres.

‍The mission of the festival is to create an environment for the social evolution of unconscious citizens into civil society through the implementation of programs in the field of education, culture and healthcare.

Within the framework of the festival, the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers (UAPFH) is responsible for the Photography segment and for the first time in its history presented a wide photo program:

  • An exhibition of abstract industrial landscapes by Hryhoriy Vepryk taken in eastern Ukraine, as well as a series of meetings with the author;
  • An exhibition of street photographs by Yuriy Khromushyn about the 70s and 90s;
  • A meeting with Serhiy Korovainyi, who will talk about his project Mariupol and other documentary filming;
  • A lecture by photographer and founder of the photo academy Igor Chekachkov on the current possibilities of photo education in Ukraine and a story about his work;
  • A talk by Valentyn Kuzan, curator of the festival's photo program, about Ukrainian photography in all its diversity.

We are pleased that the festival is helping local communities in eastern Ukraine to fill their cities with an atmosphere of unity, support and a sense of Ukrainian spirit.
