Sometimes words just fall short in capturing our response to atrocities unfolding right next to us. The aggressive and violent events of this past months in Ukraine have left the global population stunned, in disbelief. Many of us living in nations free of conflict never get to think what it would be like to be forcibly displaced from our homes, our lives, our loved ones. The right to a peaceful, secure life is one we don’t often question. It’s striking to witness reckless political aggression stripping this fundamental right from the Ukrainian population. It’s also striking to witness the helplessness of Russian communities who are strongly opposed to this aggression of their national leadership yet are stifled. The sheer courage coming through from the Ukrainian people is admirable. So is the commitment and the responsible action from their supporters worldwide. This power is deep - it gives hope, not only about the certainty of the outcome of this conflict, but rather about how we as humans are choosing to respond to these moments of collective crisis. What happens when we choose not to look the other way? And what could possibly happen when we look with intent, and with hope? We are inviting you to speak to this prompt. Not with words, but through your art. Express your thoughts and emotions about political conflict, the current crisis or none specific. Do you see with hope? Do you see with despair? Any emotional state is justified - and sharing them all in community is one of the great powers of art. To participate in the ‘World Stand with Ukraine’ call for art, sign up, create your portfolio, submit your work and give us the most precise description of it. Rather than focusing on a single submission, our jury team is always looking to find out more about every participating artist, so make sure you upload more of your work at your portfolio. Don’t just blindly apply - be thoughtful of the artwork you are submitting. Don’t forget to include the title, medium and dimensions. This call is open to painters, illustrators and 2D visual artists of all levels and backgrounds. 100 outstanding entries will be featured in a special edition of our audio-visual publication “Voice of Artists”, Issue 15, starring Kyiv Classic Orchestra - the first to perform at the Maidan Square since the beginning of the war on March 2022. As Russian forces advanced on the city, the concert raised the fighting spirit of the Ukrainian people and shocked the world. This is what we also aspire to do. In our effort to support those directly affected by the invasion, all profits the audio-visual publication will be donated to support Ukrainian people in need.
