Edel Assanti is proud to present Ukraine Days, a fundraising event and online exhibition of photographs by gallery artist Vinca Petersen. Funds raised will be donated to the Future Youth Project (FYP), a small, direct action organisation, founded by Vinca and Clare Cameron in 2010. FYP has been running humanitarian projects in Ukraine since its inception.


On 4th of May the gallery will host an evening of solidarity and support to raise funds for FYP and Happy Child Foundation, FYP's sister organisation in Ukraine, to support their continued humanitarian endeavours. The evening will feature performances by Sophie Barker, Mostar Diving Club and Gunville Flats featuring Harriet James.

Throughout April, the gallery will host an online exhibition of photographs drawn from Vinca's archive of FYP trips to Ukraine. The prints are offered in an edition of 20 at a special price of £200 each. All proceeds of sales will be donated to institutions in Ukraine that FYP supports. These diaristic images depict the warm, welcoming and wonderfully idiosyncratic Ukraine that Vinca fell in love with.

Thank you in advance for any and all donations that you can offer and hope to see you on the 4th of May.
