To “Start” Izyum
What is the philosophy and essence of the project?
Kharkiv residents Kateryna Kublytska and Anastasiia Gulak are connected by their work at the architectural and construction company Portal-21 (Anastasiia is its founder and Kateryna is its director), and by a number of projects with Izyum.
In particular, Anastasiia was often in the city as a passing visitor, as she has been involved in the restoration of buildings and critical infrastructure in the eastern regions of Ukraine as part of GIZ programmes since 2017. And Kateryna, since the beginning of the great war, has been inspecting local buildings after ‘arrivals’ and recording war crimes. Now, together with the team, they are also working on the Izyum_Recovery project.
