Marcin Rusak, Marlene Huissoud, Formafantasma and Studio Drift are among a growing number of artists, designers, makers and galleries raising money through auctions on Instagram for charities supporting relief efforts in Ukraine.
Since the news of the Russian invasion of Ukraine broke on 24 February, social media platforms have become spaces for organisation, solidarity, and – crucially – fundraising.
On Instagram, galleries and independent makers alike have taken to selling pieces to the highest bidder in their comments sections and direct messages, with the money going to charities and aid-workers supporting people in and fleeing the conflict.
