SUMMARY:Shumka's Mosquito's Wedding in 3-D
DESCRIPTION:Ukrainian Shumka Dancers are thrilled to announce the 3-D screening premiere of Mosquito’s Wedding\, Thursday\, November 9 at the Landmark City Centre Cinemas\, in Edmonton City Centre 10200 102 Ave NW. Tickets are $10 for big bugs\, and $5 for little bugs (children 10 and under). \nAn original stage production that premiered in 2018\, Mosquito’s Wedding (All We Need Is Love) is inspired by a traditional Ukrainian folk song. The 50-minute all-ages production features a number of insect characters from various “regions” of Ukraine. The dance lexicon\, musical compositions\, and sets\, costumes and props are associated with these ethnographic regions. The theme of the production is poignant\, being one of acceptance\, diversity\, and overcoming stereotypes. \nMosquito’s Wedding was filmed during Shumka on Tour in 2022 by Northern Gateway Films for a 3-D cinematic experience. Funded in part by Canada Council of the Arts: Digital Now Program.

The main focus of her solo exhibition at ACUA will be experienced as a collection of paintings created over the course of five years (2019-2023) along with a selection of etchings from an earlier period of her career. \nMost paintings and etchings are united by a theme that explores the ancient concept of “metanoia”\, the transformation of the heart and human consciousness. Oksana’s paintings feature a variety of imaginary and reality-based spaces populated by dream-like objects (both organic and inorganic) infused with geometric figures and undefined visual interventions. She is continually striving to develop and refine her painting technique. Building on a vocabulary of symbols allows her to use a storytelling approach alongside a visual language of non-linear abstraction. Her art practice is informed by her own personal journey leading to many poignant and transformative spiritual experiences\, which she shares through my work.

SUMMARY:Folklore Lunch: Malanka in Ukraine: a Ukraīner exploration of regional variations
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Kule Folklore Centre Folklore Lunch Series \n“Malanka in Ukraine: a Ukraīner exploration of regional variations”\nPresenter: Dariia Titarova \nJanuary 12\, 2024 | 12pm MST |\nKule Folklore Centre\, 250 Old Arts Bldg\, University of Alberta\nJoin us in person or online for this Zoom presentation. Zoom registration below. \nMalanka brings together entire communities in a street carnival with masks and fancy costumes to celebrate the arrival of the new year. The Ukrainian holiday has deep pre-Christian roots. \nThe history of Malanka celebrations in Ukraine is about the persistence of the tradition\, which was not eliminated despite all the attempts of the Soviet regime\, about its reinterpretation\, and revival. In 2021-2022\, the Ukraїner’s team traveled to different regions of Ukraine to tell the story of hand-crafted masks and the most bizarre bear costumes in Bukovyna\, exciting battles between Malanka characters in\nHalychyna\, contemporary festive parades in the Carpathians\, and the resurrected\nritual of walking a goat in Poltavshchyna. \nDariia Titarova is a volunteer and author of texts for Ukraїner\, a Ukrainian community and organization that has been researching Ukraine and the Ukrainian context since 2016. Dariia’s special focus is on national minorities in Ukraine and the traditional customs and winter holidays\, namely Christmas and Malanka. \nThe presentation will be available on our Youtube channel and our website after the event: ukrfolk.ca. \nFor more information\, contact: ukrfolk@ualberta.ca

SUMMARY:50th Anniversary Faculty Club Malanka Celebration
DESCRIPTION:In Ukraine\, the New Year’s celebration of “Malanka” is a festive event that traditionally takes place on the eve of January 13 (New Year’s Eve by the Julian calendar) and continues on until the morning of the 14th. During the festivities ‘Malanka’\, together with her entourage of mummers\, roams the villages and towns\, visiting door to door\, singing\, partying and bringing tidings of good luck and joy for the coming year. \nHistorically\, “Malanka” was not a tradition that readily made its way to Canada with the first few waves of Ukrainian immigration. However\, on January 13\, 1973 a major revival of the old tradition took place at the University of Alberta Faculty Club. This was the first Malanka to happen in Alberta. Join us for this one-off anniversary celebration\, throwing back the first ever Malankas\, with classic Zabava music and a traditional Malanka performance. We’ll celebrate the history and rich folklore of this unique event. \nJoin us in January to bring back this tradition\, and to celebrate Ukrainian New Year with a night to remember! \nHosted at the University Club\, there will be a cash bar and a Ukrainian dinner included. \nCocktails 5.30pm | Dinner 6. 30pm\nCocktail Hour Music by the Broken Banjos\nDance to John Stech and the Malanka Anniversary Ensemble\nAlong with UAlberta Ukrainian Students’ Society Malanka Mummers and Special Guests \nIncluding an exclusive screening of a new mini-documentary about Canadian-Ukrainian Malankas\, by Legacy Films\, supported by the Friends of the Ukrainian Folklore Centre. \nTickets are $110 + GST. \nTables will be seated\, contact us to arrange group seating.

Drawing has always been her hobby and for the past seven years it has been her career. In her art she presents her loves\, her worries\, and her thoughts and since the beginning of the Russian full-scale invasion of independent Ukraine she represents more of her beautiful country within her drawings. Soon she knows she will draw a story of great victory. \nLiubov Kostetska \nLiubov Kostetska was born Ternopil\, Ukraine and now resides in Edmonton with her family.

She founded two private art studios where she was teaching children a variety of painting techniques while discussing and exploring Ukrainian history through art. \nAfter the 2014 Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine Liubov had the idea to custom paint clothes in a national style- each one with its own unique meaning\, raising and magnifying patriotism among members of her community. The clothing became extremely popular after the Russian invasion as people who moved out of Ukraine wanted something to remind them of their home. Her paintings are presented on a variety of clothing including jackets\, shirts\, and t-shirts using special textile paint. Every element has its own historical and cultural meaning. \nOlya Lisova \nOlya Lisova is a graduate of the University of Manitoba with a Bachelors of Fine Art (Honours) degree\, along with diplomas in visual communication and design from UAlberta and MacEwan University.

SUMMARY:Viktoria Grynenko: Contemporary Music from Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Works from Ukraine for violin by Bezborodko\, Bibik\, Loginov\, Pidhorna\, Silvestrov and Zavhorodnii \nDuring a difficult time\, Ukrainian new compositions show a burst of creativity. Other examples in music and art history during conflicts provide a comparison for discussion. The intimate space of McLuhan House offers an unparalleled opportunity to get to know not only these works but to understand and ask questions about contemporary composers’ creative exploration of sound\, dance and space. These are performed and discussed by Viktoria Grynenko\, a virtuoso violinist\, teacher and scholar of this music. After studies in Ukraine\, she holds a Ph.D. in Music from University of Alberta. She studies the skills of ballet and dance accompanists. \n“ My aim for this recital is to give the audience tools to listen to contemporary music\, what to listen for\, how to have an enriching experience and dialogue with the music\, and how to embrace the dissonance. Starting with Valentin Bibik and Valentin Silvestrov\, luminaries of new music in Ukraine\, we will move to Kyiv piano virtuoso Oleg Bezborodko\, Ukrainian-Canadian Anna Pidhorna\, and finish with the works by Boris Loginov and Ihor Zavhorodnii\, written after the 2022 Russian invasion. There will be complete performances and excerpts used to illustrate the lecture. ” (Viktoria Geynenko) \nProgram : \nBezborodko Concert Fantasy “Cossack Beyond the Danube” on Gulak-Artemovsky’s opera \nZavhorodnii “Lacrimosa” for violin solo \nSilvestrov “Melodies of the Moments” for violin and piano \nExcerpts for artist’s talk and discussion : \nPidhorna\, “Through closed doors” \nBibik “Sorrowful Music” \nLoginov “sleep during insomnia” quartet and electronics (recorded) \n(Program subject to change) \n50% of net proceeds will go to the Canada Ukraine Foundation’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.

SUMMARY:Kule Folklore Lunch - Art Under Siege: the Legacy of Ukrainian Monumental Art of Alla Horska and Viktor Zaretskiy
DESCRIPTION:Art Under Siege: the Legacy of Ukrainian Monumental Art of Alla Horska and Viktor Zaretskiy\nPresented by Anna Morozova\, Graduate Student MLCS\nFebruary 9\, 2024 | 12pm MST | Kule Folklore Centre\nIn person presentation. \n“The research is based on a study of Ukrainian Monumental art of the 1960s in a close relationship with socio-political reality and Russian vandalism\, which led to the destruction of numerous Ukrainian monumental panels. My presentation will focus on the monumental art of Viktor Zaretskiy and Alla Horska\, who were dissident artists and members of the Sixtiers movement. \nI began my work with Zaretskyi’s archive in 2021 in Kyiv\, working with the sketches for his mosaics. Sadly\, I later discovered they were destroyed by Russian missiles in 2023. My presentation will focus on key aspects\, including the question of whether these monumental artworks served as soviet propaganda or represented a form of rival nationalism. Additionally\, I will analyze how dissident artists remember the ways in which soviet censorship restricted their artwork. Lastly\, I will address the unfortunate destruction of artists’ monumental panels due to the war in Ukraine in the years 2022-2023.” \nAnna Morozova is a Research Assistant at the Kule Folklore Centre\, a Graduate Student at the University of Alberta (Media and Cultural Studies)\, and a manager and tour guide at the Ukrainian Museum of Canada\, AB. MA in Cultural Studies at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. In 2020-2022\, Anna was responsible for the management of The Naked Room gallery in Kyiv\, while simultaneously processing Horska and Zaretskyi’s archive together with their granddaughter\, Olena Zaretska. In 2020\, Anna curated the exhibition “#PropertyRights” by Alevtina Kakhidze. \nTop image: Destroyed mosaic\, photo by Yevgen Nikiforov.\nBottom image: Anna Morozova.
