What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

As part of the Festival de Cannes 2026, the exhibition “Regards Célestes / Heavenly Photographers” was presented, dedicated to photographers and documentarians who capture the war, its consequences, and human experience in the most dangerous circumstances.

The exhibition also honors the memory of photographers who documented Russia’s full‑scale invasion of Ukraine and gave their lives for it. Their names will be presented in the display as part of a collective testimony to the price of truth.

At the heart of the exhibition are the works of French photojournalist Anthony Lallikan and Ukrainian photographer Heorhii Ivanchenko. They worked together in Ukraine, documenting the lives of people in frontline towns of Donbas. In October 2025, their joint work in Donetsk region was tragically cut short: Anthony Lallikan was killed in a Russian FPV drone strike, while Heorhii Ivanchenko sustained severe injuries.

This is the first joint presentation of their photographs in one space. Anthony’s color works focus on the human being at the center of war. Heorhii’s black‑and‑white landscapes speak of war through silence, absence, and traces of destruction.

The exhibition also includes works by Maks Levin — a Ukrainian war documentarian who, since 2014, had been recording Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and was killed by Russian forces in Kyiv region in the spring of 2022.

For the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers, this exhibition carries special significance. It reminds the world that photographers and documentarians create testimonies without which truth can be erased, distorted, or forgotten.

This year, UAPP President Mstyslav Chernov chairs the jury of L’Œil d’Or / Golden Eye — the Cannes Film Festival award for Best Documentary. In the context of the “Regards Célestes” exhibition, this is especially significant: the Ukrainian documentary voice resonates in Cannes not only through cinema, but also through photography, memory, and testimony.

The exhibition was realized with the participation of the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers, the Embassy of Ukraine in France, Institut Ukrainien, France Télévisions, and the Festival de Cannes.
