Maps for IZOLYATSIA Must Speak
‘Izolyatsia: must speak’ is a comprehensive project that combines a political and informational campaign with an artistic component. The project was founded in December 2020 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and is conducted jointly with the ‘Izolyatsia’ Foundation, the Ukrainian Institute and Stanislav Aseyev, Ukrainian journalist, writer and former political prisoner of the Russian Federation.
‘Izolyatsia’ is an illegal prison, equipped by the Russian Federation on the site of a former insulation materials factory in the temporarily Russian-occupied territory of Ukraine in Donetsk. Before the Russian invasion in 2014, this space was used by the ‘Izolyatsia’ platform for cultural initiatives.
Since 2014, there were more than 160 illegal prisons in the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, where more than three thousand people have been illegally held captive and subjected to torture and inhumane treatment. In 2022, after full-scale Russian invasion, Ukrainian Police reported discovery of at least 48 new illigal detention and torture places in liberated areas.
Spread the word about the ‘Izolyatsia’ illegal prison. Share information about the project on social networks. Only publicity can stop these crimes and bring the perpetrators to justice. (information from the project website)

My job was to recreate the area from archival photographs and create a map and backgrounds for the site based on the images.
