'My Mom Wants to Go Back Home' is a documentary diary by photographer Hanna Hrabarska. Together with her mother Iryna, she fled the war in Ukraine, to find a temporary home in the Netherlands. 'This book is a journey. In the beginning it runs across borders, countries and cities. Later it extends inwards, into a landscape of our thoughts, feelings and emotions.' Hanna Hrabarska (1986) is a Ukrainian photographer, visual artist, and photojournalist. She holds a Master of Arts in Journalism from the National University of Kiev-Mohyla Academy, Kyiv (2010). Before the war in Ukraine, she ran a small portrait studio in Kyiv. Over the last decade she has established herself as a freelance photographer, photojournalist, and documentary artist — with both commissioned and autonomous work. She has been teaching photography courses at the online art & photography school SKVOT, a Ukrainian creative hub based in Kyiv. Hrabarska’s work has been published in numerous media outlets and exhibited in Europe and USA. Her photographs have been part of the group show 'This is Ukraine: Defending Freedom' at 2022 La Biennale di Venezia in 2022.
