UK artist Tommy Sussex has compiled photographs taken in Kyiv and rural Ukraine into this incredible book. His photos depict the 2014 protests which followed the Ukranian government’s decision not to sign an accord with the European Union and instead strengthen their relationship with Russia.

The photographs in the book were taking during the initial February 2014 protests in Kyiv. The second part of the book examines the every day life of Ukrainians living outside of the city, who were not involved in the protests.

The 44 page, self-cover, saddle stitched, digital indigo printed, 24cm x 18cm title is released as a edition of 200, so make sure you get your copy soon.

And if you’re in Melbourne this weekend, be sure to check out the Bloom Publishing stall at the first ever Melbourne Art Book Fair at NGV International, from 10am-5pm Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday from the Bloom crew and artist Emma Phillips will be giving a free short talk on self publishing in the NGV Great Hall.
