Artist Statement:

The Soloveiko Songbird, also known as the Nightingale, holds the heart of Ukraine’s spirit, a symbol of joyous song. This collaborative art installation, a union of talents by Svitlana Reinish, Anton Dehtiarov, and Amigo & Amigo, celebrates Ukraine’s rich culture and stories.

Twelve Soloveiko from various regions, were commissioned for Eurovision and journeyed to Liverpool, each bearing their unique song. Nestled in distinctive locations across the city, these songbirds beckon the public to follow their map, discovering the melodies and tales they bring from their homeland each night.

Soloveiko Songbird celebrates the spirit of song, colour, and community that unites us all.
