Oberih

oberih [ukr.: ‘an item that protects’] is a publication aimed at raising funds for those affected by the war in Ukraine. It collects stories about items that provide solace and protection, gathered from friends in the form of texts, images, and voice messages from April to May 2022. Initially presented at Liste Art Fair in Basel in June 2022, the book was showcased in several cities, reaching thousands and raising over 40,000 EUR to support grassroots initiatives and activist organizations addressing the war's consequences.
