Anna is a documentary photographer and director. Svitlana is a journalist and documentary prose writer. The words \u201ccreative collective\u201d describe our tandem best, since we work as an independent production and publisher at the same time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We work with the traces of traditional culture in modern everyday life. Folk art, folk architecture, and the way people speak about themselves inspire us. We observe changes in rural communities, create documentary texts, photo and video works, and publish books.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re also sisters, who were born in the city of Sieverodonetsk, currently occupied by Russia. Our family lived in different parts of Ukraine, and since early childhood and throughout our professional life we have been exploring diverse sides of Ukrainian reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We created old khata project in 2020, with the idea of making a photobook about rural houses. Russia&#8217;s full-scale invasion postponed this work, but in 2023 \u201cOld Khata Book. A photo book about houses and people\u201d finally was published.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We enjoyed working in tandem with the topics of rural architecture and folk art \u2014 with all those glimpses of traditional culture in modern life. That\u2019s why publishing the Old Khata Book became not a finish but a start. Our next publication will be an art book about na\u0457ve wall-paintings in Ukrainian villages at the beginning of the XX century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re open to cooperation in different formats and ready to share our knowledge.
