Aza Nizi Maza
Kharkiv, Ukraine

AZA NIZI MAZA is a creative space founded in 2012 by Nikolai Kolomiets (Kharkiv). AZA NIZI MAZA offered classes in painting, drawing, and sculpture for children and adults. A group of artists with Down syndrome also worked in the studio. There was a lecture hall where artists and art historians held lectures on art, and an exhibition hall (the studio organized more than 60 exhibitions at the best exhibition venues in Ukraine). On the first day of the war, the studio “AZA NIZI MAZA” moved to a bomb shelter and a transit point. The pictures you see here were made by AZA NIZI MAZA students, mostly children and teens, in the subway.
