When, in February 2022, ISOLARII began publishing ‘The War Diary’ of Yevgenia Belorusets as a daily newsletter, the need seemed simple: tell the news in Ukraine from a different vantage. The diary had a worldwide impact: translated by an anonymous collective of writers on Weibo; read live by Margaret Atwood; used as a slogan for anti-war protests in Berlin; and adapted for an episode of This American Life on NPR. Yevgenia was asked to bring the diary to the 2022 Venice Biennale as part of the exhibition "This is Ukraine: Defending Freedom." In partnership with the Office of the President of Ukraine, the exhibition showed Yevgenia's writing alongside the monumental and emotional art of Nikita Kadan and Lesia Khomenko -- all of whom continue to work in wartime Ukraine. IN THE FACE OF WAR is the official catalog to the exhibition, contextualizing the work of these three young artists.
