“Light and death walk side by side.” Serhii Korovainyi’s photographs from the “City of Good”
“City of Good” is a nationwide project launched by philanthropist Marta Levchenko in 2016. Today, it is a large‑scale space that provides comprehensive support for women and children who find themselves in difficult life circumstances — for example, survivors of domestic violence, those at risk of homelessness, those who need help with socialization and reintegration, or families living below the poverty line. Since the beginning of Russia’s full‑scale invasion, the center has also been helping children who were forced to evacuate because of the war.

War, the body, and light in the works of Vladyslav Krasnoshchok
Vladyslav Krasnoshchok was born and lives in Kharkiv. Between 1997 and 2002, he studied at the Faculty of Dentistry and worked for more than ten years in an emergency hospital. Yet it was photography that became his way of seeing the world and speaking about it. Since 2010, he has been a member of the art group “Shylo,” known for its radical visual gestures. Krasnoshchok expands the tradition of Kharkiv photography, working with archives, hand‑coloring, collage, and sculptural objects. From the first days of Russia’s full‑scale invasion of Ukraine, he has been documenting the war, capturing its events on black‑and‑white film.
