Crimea 5am: art project about political prisoners



About this project

Crimea 5 am is an international project project dedicated to political prisoners. Its purpose is to draw the attention of Ukrainian and international society to human rights violations in the temporarily occupied Crimean Peninsula. 

The project consists of three main components: a documentary performance performance by Dmytro Kostyuminskyi based on the play play by Natalia Vorozhbyt and Anastasiia Kosodii, a book about the project and its heroes, and an information campaign with the participation of Ukrainian and foreign celebrities.

The broken doors

The art-installation was created in the framework of Crimea 5am, an international project dedicated to political prisoners. 11 broken doors symbolise 11 broken lives of Crimean Tatars falsely accused of terrorism on their own land, temporarily occupated by russia.
