Ukrainian photojournalist Julia Kochetova
The internationally renowned photojournalist and filmmaker Julia Kochetova speaks to Pencil about her experience capturing the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Pencil gives artists the opportunity and the space to share their work with a wider audience. We will hear about their creative process, the importance of collaboration and how they are responding to the challenges we face ahead. In addition to interviews, we will be sharing behind the scenes footage and documentaries from musicians, dancers, writers, illustrators, photographers, actors and sculptors. By creating this journal, we hope to initiate positive discussion from a community who are actively redefining the sector.
