The catalog included current jazz performers of Ukraine, who were in the country and abroad. Each page about the artist was supplemented with contacts and a QR code with a link to the music.
The catalog also contained information about the Ukrainian Institute and the Urban Lys agency, an overview of Ukrainian festivals and music media.
The catalog was distributed among visitors to the Ukrainian stand and strategic partners of Ukraine at the jazzahead 2022 showcase in Bremen.
Work on the catalog began before the start of the full-scale invasion of russia to Ukraine, and was completed under completely different conditions.
All participants in the process were forced to live their homes, to the sounds of explosions or moving from place to place finishing gathering information from the artists, making layouts of pages and editing.
The future of the festivals and jazz media in Ukraine described in the catalog was also uncertain. In addition, some of the artists represented in the catalog are currently at the front line of war or outside the country.
The team of catalog:

Layout and editing – Urban Lys / Olha Kovalevska
Special thanks for the help with the printing of the catalog to the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.
