Photographer Frankie Mills talks about the importance of making their work during a time when we have been criminalising refugees.
She throws light on her creative process and her aspirations for this work ‘Good Evening We Are From Ukraine’, which follows a small community of Ukrainian women and children who have landed in Moorhaven, Devon, after being uprooted by Russia’s invasion.
This project is about the things that make us feel a sense of home and belonging when everything we know has been left behind. The series explores how people find their independence again when there is a shared public willingness to support strangers.
Part of the photographic exhibition programme for ‘Good Evening We Are From Ukraine’. Presented by Libraries Unlimited, in partnership with Counterpoint arts Platforma Festival
