The 132-page issue features works by talented and established Ukrainian artists in the fields of photography and graphic design, as well as texts on photography, film, contemporary art, literature, and, above all, the everyday lives of young people in Ukraine who are trying to make sense of the multifaceted reality of life under the constant threat of Russian aggression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new issue focuses particularly on the stories of people from the currently occupied territories of Luhansk, Donetsk, and Crimea, who have been confronted with war since 2014. The cover of the new issue was designed exclusively for Solomiya by the renowned artist Alevtina Kakhidze. It depicts a woman surrounded by missiles and drones, raising her hand. \"Our hands have become more skillful in war,\" says Kakhidze, who has already created hundreds of drawings during the war and has drawn a tardigrade—the only living creature to have survived the Chernobyl nuclear disaster—on the back cover of the magazine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This magazine, created in Kyiv and designed in Berlin, is a testament to resistance through the means of art,” explain the editors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold award in the Editorial Design category – Magazine of the ADC (Art Directors Club) Design Award 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJury comment:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“…From multiple perspectives and at the highest design level, they bring readers closer to what it means to have to live with the ongoing, deadly threat.
