Sustained Attention

Iva Sidash (b. 1995, Ukraine) is an independent photographer and visual storyteller based in Ukraine. A member of the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers and the National Society of Photo Artists of Ukraine, she studied Documentary Practices and Visual Journalism at the International Center of Photography in New York and is a 2024 Women Photograph fellow.
Since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Sidash has focused on documenting not only the visible realities of war but also the overlooked and untold human stories. Her work blends art and documentary photography, shedding light on personal narratives that capture resilience amidst conflict.
Sidash's photography has been showcased in group exhibitions in the US, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Estonia, Poland, and Ukraine. She held two solo exhibitions, "The Wall: Witness to the War in Ukraine," in Wisconsin, USA, in October 2023, and in San Diego, USA, in April 2024.
