Local Stickerbook #4

Local Stickerbook is an independent magazine exhibiting works of contemporary Ukrainian artists. For each edition, around 20 artists are selected to represent their creations through the sticker format. The project was launched in February 2021 as an initiative of Kyiv-based artists and curators. Since that time, the team successfully hosted several multi-format events uniting various local musicians, artists, and enthusiasts to explore metamodernistic ideas and approaches.

After releasing three editions of the magazine, the team aims to keep investigating and documenting actual Ukrainian alternative art and introduce it outside Ukraine. For this reason, the third edition of Local Stickerbooks will be presented in Studio stars! This initiative brings together creators of publishing-based practices giving opportunities for new kinds of international collaborations enabling Local Stickerbook to attract attention to such essential topics as the importance of art and the role of artists during the wartime. Diligently selecting works of mainly young local artists, the magazine’s team strives to push the boundaries of conventional aesthetics and show a brisk view of new reality, sending valuable cultural signals and messages to the international communities.

The Local Stickerbook team also provides artists and their families with financial aid. The team intends to create a special financial support foundation giving part of the profits and donations to the Ukrainian artist in need.
