Three Artists. One Hope

Three snapshots from three different lives: Kateryna Zavoloka, Katarina Gryvul and Boris Filanovsky. All work with music, their countries are at war, and they condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine. They have not met each other and the article consists of three unique interviews with Seismograf. None of them see themselves as political artists, but they do believe that it is a human duty to speak out and fight back when the leader of one's homeland orders war against the other two's homelands.

»Vilna« from the album Volya was recorded during the Maidam Revolution in 2014 and consists of recordings of burning police cars, sounds from street fights and exploding grenades and Molotov cocktails. »Volya« means freedom.
