Yevgenia Belorusets

Yevgenia Belorusets (born 1980 in Kiev) is an artist and writer living and working in Berlin and partly Kiev. She is co-founder of the journal Prostory, the journal for literature and art, and a member of the interdisciplinary curatorial collective Hudrada. She works with photography and other forms on the intersection of art, literature and social activism. Her photographic work calls attention to the more vulnerable sections of Ukrainian society—queer families, out-of-work coal miners, the Roma, people living in the war zone in the East—and was shown in the Ukrainian pavilion at the 56th and 59th Venice Biennale.
Lucky Breaks, her first work of fiction, was given a 2020 HKW International Literature Award in Germany. For her work on A Wartime Diary she received 2022 Schering Stiftung Special Award for Artistic Research and Horst Bingel Prise for Literature. She has been documenting full-scale Russia's invasion of Ukraine since 24th of February 2022.
