The Only Material is one of the most meaningful projects I’ve been part of.
It shares the words of Ukrainian journalists, who set out to report on justice, climate, daily life and now carry the weight of documenting war.
Join us on 26 June for the opening at the Museum for Communication, Berlin.

What drives a journalist before the war?
What keeps them going after everything changes?

Over the past months, we've been working on The Only Material — a deeply human exhibition about the dreams of Ukrainian journalists reshaped by war.

Join us on 26 June in Berlin.

The Only Material. Exhibition.

Continuing my book reviews with "I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki" by Baek Sehee.
I bought the book because the title hit close to home, but the book has failed to do so. I've given a lot of thought to my review, I didn't want to do it any injustice; 1/8
