Liliia Kucher

Liliia Kucher is a Ukrainian photographer. Her practice consists of conventional and non-conventional approaches to documentary, focusing on the representation of memories, connections to places, and personal histories. Liliia graduated with distinction from the MA in photojournalism and documentary photography at the University of the Arts London. She has been selected as one of 10 nominees for Aesthetica's the Next Generation Award (2021), shortlisted for Bartur Photo Award (2021), a finalist of Friend-Ship Photography Award (2019) and a finalist of This-Ability Photography Award (2018). Liliia's photography is influenced by the way she has come to respond to the memories of her experience of traumatic events in her early life. Some of the themes recurring in her work are memory, loss, family, longing, fantasy, and the healing power of nature. Driving her practice is an underlying need to share stories and emotions, to reach out and realize we are not alone.
