Presented in collaboration with The Wende Museum, Los Angeles and Postcode Ukraine, Diary of a Volunteer is both a new exhibition and a fundraising project. It brings together photographs by British artist and Postcode Ukraine co-founder Mark Neville, documenting the lives of people across Ukraine during Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Living in Kyiv since 2020 and working across frontline regions since 2022, Neville has photographed the volunteers, families, children, workers and communities whose lives havebeen transformed by war.
Moving beyond images of conflict and devastation, the exhibition focuses on everyday acts of resilience, care and solidarity - revealing a more personal and nuanced story of contemporary Ukraine.
All proceeds support Postcode Ukraine, the Kyiv-based charity Neville co-founded. Since 2022 it has funded more than $500,000 in local aid, including food, water, generators, and emergency assistance.
"The Ukrainian people are resilient, but resilience alone cannot sustain a country at war. Continued international support and allyship with the Ukrainian people remains essential. This exhibition aims not only to ensure these stories are seen around the world, but also to help provide vital aid to communities on the ground."
