An exhibition celebrating journalist Maurine Mercier’s Carnets d’Ukraine is on display until Sunday, November 8, as part of the Bayeux Prize in Calvados, a French award recognizing war journalism. Mercier, who has lived in Kyiv since 2022, uses her podcasts to share the experiences and voices of Ukrainians affected by the ongoing conflict. Her work has been praised for its emotional depth and authenticity, offering listeners a personal and intimate look into the lives of those living through the war. The Carnets d’Ukraine series captures everyday stories, struggles, and hopes of Ukrainian people, often through short, narrative-driven episodes. These podcasts are described as being filled with humanity, akin to voice messages left on an answering machine—personal, raw, and unfiltered. Mercier’s approach emphasizes direct storytelling, allowing listeners to connect with the individuals she interviews on a more personal level. The exhibition showcases audio recordings, transcripts, and visual elements that accompany the Carnets d’Ukraine project. It provides a deeper understanding of how Mercier documents the war from the ground, highlighting the importance of personal narratives in journalism. Visitors can experience the emotional and historical significance of her work through immersive displays and interactive elements. Mercier’s dedication to frontline reporting has earned her recognition in the field of war journalism. The Bayeux Prize, which she is being honored for, celebrates journalists who risk their lives to report on conflicts. The exhibition not only honors her contributions but also raises awareness about the human impact of war, as seen through the eyes of those living it.
