Calling Young Ukrainian Artists in Czechia:
Share Your Voice Through Portraits
Are you a Ukrainian teen artist living in Czechia?
We are creating a special photography project to highlight the voices, creativity, and resilience of young people who have been displaced by the war. If you are an artist—whether you dance, paint, draw, write, sing, photograph, model, do gymnastics, design fashion, or express yourself in another creative way—we would love to meet you and tell your story through powerful portrait photography. Anyone between the ages of 14-21 are welcome; all genders/sizes/abilities are welcome.
This is not just about photos. It’s about being seen and heard. Your story matters.
A professional photographer (Fritz Liedtke) is offering free photo shoots with Ukrainian youth who want to share a piece of their journey. We will also collect some brief writing from you about your experiences. These portraits and stories will be shared in magazines, media, and exhibitions to raise awareness and compassion for what young Ukrainians are experiencing. We want the world to know your story, and to remember and stand with Ukraine.
Fritz is working with a team of Ukrainian and Czech volunteers to create this beautiful opportunity to share your story. Participation is free, and you can choose how much of your story you want to share.
What you’ll receive:
A professional creative photo shoot in Prague in September. At your photo shoot, we will have people fluent in Ukrainian, Czech, and English, for your comfort.
Digital copies of the final, edited photos for you to keep and share.
Updates on the publication of portraits and stories from this project in the media, and invitations to any local exhibitions or events.
