“Contemporary Ukrainian Folk Art: The Matrix of Resilience,” curated by New England-based, Ukrainian ethnographer Sophia Sushailo. The exhibition features the work of three Ukrainian artists utilizing traditional art forms to resist the erasure of their ancestral home and cultural heritage—Tetyana Konoval, Hanna Oliynyk, and Rustem Skybin. “Despite Ukraine’s tumultuous history and the systematic cultural genocide inflicted by colonial authoritarian regimes, seeds of hope have continued to germinate among artists,” said Sushailo. “Rooted in ancestral memory, these works of art—embroidery, painting, ceramics, and traditional egg decoration known as Pysanky—project hope for a bright future.”
