On August 8, the photo book “WAR CHRONICLES: UKRAINE 2014–2025” was presented at the PEN Ukraine space—a large-scale documentary project by the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers (UAPP), implemented in partnership with FotoEvidence.
The publication gathered over 360 photographs and dozens of testimonies from Ukrainian documentarians and photojournalists who have been documenting Ukraine's journey since 2014—from the Revolution of Dignity to the current realities of the full-scale war. This is a chronicle of resistance, loss, dignity, and resilience that is not only an artistic artifact but also an important historical source.
The presentation featured military photographer and veteran Dmytro Kozatskyi, Reporters magazine photo editor Danylo Pavlov, and photographer Viacheslav Ratynskyi. The discussion was moderated by The Kyiv Independent photo editor Iryna Hromotska.
Leading Ukrainian photographers contributed to the creation of the book — Andriy Dubchak, Yurko Diachyshyn, Heorhii Ivanchenko, Olha Ivashchenko, Serhii Korovainyi, Oleksandr Mahula, Yevhen Maloletka, Danylo Pavlov, Oksana Parafeniuk, Oleh Petrasiuk, Anatolii Stepanov, Kostiantyn and Vlada Liberov, Vladyslav Musiienko, Volodymyr Petrov, Viacheslav Ratynskyi, Oleksii Furman, Mstyslav Chernov, Maksym Dondiuk, Max Levin, and others.
The book will be distributed in schools and public libraries across Ukraine to serve as a tool for preserving memory and educating youth. The project was also presented in an exhibition format during the 13th International Book Arsenal Festival, which allowed visitors to immerse themselves in the visual testimonies of the war.
The project was implemented with the support of the Open Society Foundations and the Renaissance Foundation.
