■ WHEN FULL-SCALE WAR broke out in Ukraine on February 24 2022, international artist Anastasiia Podervianska needed to make a quick decision about her family’s safety. She decided to move on from the capital Kyiv, where she was born and raised, and transfer her family to the west of the country, where they lived for two months. She found it was an impossible time to create art but then luckily she was offered an ar tist’s residency in the USA over the summer.‘It was a very calm time,’ the artist remembers.The residency was at Martha MOCA, where she lived with her son for two months in safety, without the constant air alarms of her home city. Here, she created a series of works on the theme of the war in Ukraine. Borodyanka and Mariupol, Irpin and School are some of the works in this series. The images were recreated from photographs showing destroyed buildings after massive air missile strikes by the Russians. The textile panel Borodyanka and Mariupol, pictured, has been selected for the 7th Riga International Textile and Fibre Ar t Triennial Tradition and Innovation which has the theme: Quo Vadis? and starts this summer. For Anastasiia, these works were the culmination of a nightmare situation. Now she and her family are back in Kyiv. ‘Everyone who stayed here is trying to live as normal, but this is often very hard. We live while air alarms sound and rockets attack Kyiv, while the daily news brings us information of more shelling and loss of life across our country,’ reports Anastasiia.
