ART COMMUNITY TO FIGHT ECOCIDE AND HUMANITARIAN CATASTROPHE

We, Ukrainian curators and artists, appreciate our participation at LISTE. However, today, as our country has been fighting the brutal russian invasion for almost 15 months, we feel urged to expand this mission and directly ask for your practical help and support.

Right now tens of thousands of people from the south of Ukraine suffer from the dreadful consequences of the enormous humanitarian and ecological catastrophe caused by the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam and hydroelectric power plant by the russian army.

Here we give you just a brief summary of numbers and facts:

• about 40,000 people from a critical flood zone need to be evacuated, but hundreds of thousands more could be affected in the nearest future;

• the release of 18 cubic kilometres of water, about the volume of the Great Salt Lake in the U.S., will sweep the Dnipro River’s banks, threatening 80 settlements with flooding;

• Over 10,000 hectares of farmland will be flooded in the south;

• At least 150 tons of machine oil have been released into the Dnipro River.

The far-reaching consequences of this catastrophe bring an irreversible transformation of the local and global ecosystem. Thousands of Ukrainian families need urgent support to meet their basic needs. Our colleagues from UNDESTRUCTURES collective provide direct help and deliver necessary medical products & hygiene supplies to people in Kherson and Kherson region. Many people there are relocated, trapped, traumatised, and lost their relatives, homes or any potential income because of the heavy floods. Most of them don't have access to electricity, water, pharmacies or shops. Vitya and Olena are in Kherson now, and they've been systematically helping people there since its deoccupation from the russians in November 2022. They keep doing it right now despite the danger of shelling.

We ask you to donate a comfortable sum of money and spread the word among your community. Here are the accounts of the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund, organised by MOCA NGO, in partnership with The Naked Room, media Zaborona and Mystetskyi Arsenal museum in March 2022 to facilitate donations and provide quick and transparent support for the cultural sector in Ukraine and abroad during the ongoing war.
