The publication brings together the voices of artists and authors from Ukraine who have come to Leipzig since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression. In essays and artistic contributions, they talk about the changes in their lives and their arrival in Leipzig, about their encounters with the cultural scene and the people of the city. Their personal experiences of flight are complemented by reflections from Leipzig's cultural institutions, which are seeking to create new forms of solidarity in their venues. The presentation also combines original sounds, visual art and literature. The program includes short films by Nastia Sopilnyk and Valentina Petrova, photographs by Anna Perepechai, a poetic reading by Khrystyna Kozlovska and the presentation of the publication's design concept by Uliana Bychenkova.

The publication was produced in cooperation with the International Cooperation Department of the City of Leipzig, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Schaubühne Lindenfels and the LISTOK-Leipzig Initiative for Solidarity and Open Culture. Supported by the special budget Ukraine of the City of Leipzig 2023. The publication will be available free of charge on the evening.
