We are a Ukraine solidarity collective based in London.
Founded in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, we amplify contemporary culture, support grassroots initiatives, and campaign for sustained solidarity.

«unboxing» is a conversation and a participatory session exploring radically different perspectives on the war in Ukraine based on a box with seven art objects brought by cultural worker Alona Karavai.
The second edition of Kyiv Art Book Fair took place in Kyiv over the first weekend of summer, bringing together independent publishers from Ukraine and beyond.
Through books and public programmes, the fair continues its mission to support independent publishing, cultural exchange, and new connections.
We are especially grateful to everyone who supported the fair’s fundraising initiatives, helping KABF remain a platform for both culture and solidarity!
Culture as solidarity
We make Ukraine's contemporary culture visible, self-defined, and heard beyond narratives of crisis. Through art, music, books, film, and gatherings, we work to decolonise perceptions of Ukraine and foster understanding, connection, and solidarity across communities — in London and beyond.
Grassroots first
We prioritise small volunteer groups, unregistered collectives, and local initiatives that provide targeted, practical support on the ground in Ukraine.
Initiatives we have supported: Co-Haty, Livyj Bereh, Repair Together, Olena Samojlenko’s mission in Kherson, Zgraya, Luti Druzi, BASE UA, Insight NGO, Hospitalliers, Port Frankivsk, PEREMOGA, PDMSh, Freefilmers, and others.
Sustainable support
Through the Vsesvit Shop, we support grassroots initiatives in Ukraine through a curated selection of books, publications, and unique objects. Profits are either shared with creators and charities or fully allocated to the specific causes each item supports, directing essential funds toward humanitarian aid.
