From Berlin to Kyiv: A Magazine Journey — with Sebastian Wells

#73 – in conversation with documentary photographer Sebastian Wells

Sebastian's long-term documentary projects explore the interplay between spaces, people, and systems of power. In 2022, he co-founded the English-language magazine Solomiya with Vsevolod Kazarin. The publication showcases contemporary Ukrainian artists and writers, with each issue (now at No. 5) examining different aspects of the ongoing war — and how people in Ukraine continue to resist, survive, and live within a new reality.
