The UK was chosen to host the music contest as runners-up to the winners Ukraine due to the ongoing conflict - and the event is taking place in Liverpool. The city is now showcasing Ukrainian culture ahead of the event.
Some 24 installations, 19 of them by Ukrainian artists, are in place to reflect that connection. Among them are the Soloveiko songbirds, a collaboration between UK, Ukraine and Australian based artists.
Simone Chua, from art group Amigos & Amigos, is part of the collective. She said:"It's important for us to talk about what's happening over there, but to bring some positive stories about Ukraine too."A banner promoting the Eurovision Song Contest near The Royal Liver Building in Liverpool, Merseyside
