Branded Born Criminal is a woman’s defiance, in the face of atrocity, to uphold Art and Freedom. Branded has a powerful message that resonates in Ukraine and around the world.
You Can’t Stop Art. You Can’t Stop Freedom.
Artistic expression is not a luxury, it is a necessity. A Human Right. To repel the invader, the bond between artists, writers, free thinkers and freedom fighters must always be strong, with esprit de corps.
We artists are the voice of freedom
We are grateful to everyone who has generously given time and experience to the development of Branded.
Nazar Grabar
Before the war with Russia began, Nazar Grabar was an actor and model. He and his brother joined the Ukrainian army. His brother was killed. Nazar is the voice of Francis Bacon in Branded.
Kateryna Polishchuk
Kateryna Polishchuk, also known as Ptashka, the Bird of Azovstal.
Before the war, Kateryna was a singer. She was captured by the Russians and was a prisoner of war for four months. They were released on exchange. It is Kateryna, with her real experience of captivity, who has done the voice role of Pauline Amos, who played a woman in a prison cell, a political prisoner, an artist who was abandoned by a repressive regime.
