HARVEST
HARVEST is a five-year artistic and humanitarian initiative developed by Ukrainian artist Natalia Voronkina (Vokiana). The art project addresses the long-term environmental, economic, and human impact of agrarian land destruction by landmine contamination, with a particular focus on Ukraine.
Cultivating Awareness Through Art
Positioned at the intersection of contemporary art and humanitarian action, HARVEST uses art for awareness-raising, public engagement, and reinforces long-term recovery. Through a series of visual art works that translates post-conflict realities into narratives that communicate the consequences of land contamination on agricultural systems, ecosystems, and civilian life and importance of restoring it.
