LUXATE (DISJOINTED) - the project of Sarah Rimmö-Toure at Uppsala International Photo Festival

VOICE4Ukraine today belongs to the master of photos Sarah Rimmö-Toure

During the Summer, Sarah made her photo project showing Ukrainian children in Uppsala. The result of her hard but soul-beautiful work became her photo exhibition "Luxate" which was shown at the Uppsala International Photo Festival in September 2022.

LUXATE (DISJOINTED)
In the first six months after Russia's war against Ukraine, over 40,000 Ukrainian refugees had received protection in Sweden, a large part of them are children. There is roughly the same number of people who live in Kalmar or Kristianstad or a quarter of Uppsala's population.

With a focus on the children, Sarah Toure's portrait project LUXATE (Disjointed, in Swedish, "disjointed, taken apart") wants to shed light on this enormous amount and show the people behind the statistics. Who are they, what are their names, and what do they dream about?

Around 40 children living in Uppsala after fleeing Ukraine have been photographed and interviewed. They are individual portraits, but they are shown grouped to reinforce the impression of the multitude of children whose lives have been drastically affected by the war. In all seriousness, there is still light in children's dreams and thoughts.

Thanks a lot to Oksana Dudarko and Elena Chaykina for their help and feedback!
With every such beautiful story of support, I believe even more that Ukraine will win this war because of the light and fire in the heart of our friends around the world.
