Peter and Doris Kule Centre for Ukrainian and Canadian Folklore
Presents:
Dumy moї – My thoughts: Taras Shevchenko, the Ukrainian Diaspora and the Ongoing War in Ukraine
A multi-media exhibition by curators Larisa Sembaliuk Cheladyn, PhD Kule Chair in Ukrainian Ethnography, and Dmytro Yesypenko, Graduate Student MLCS
Exhibition: March 6-31, 2023, Rutherford Library Galleria, University of Alberta
Taras Shevchenko (1814–1861) is one of the most prominent and influential figures in Ukrainian culture and history. During his lifetime, he was recognized as the author of literary classics, notably, the iconic poetry collection Kobzar (Minstrel, 1840). A poetic genius, Shevchenko also became an outstanding painter. His oeuvre is considered to be the prime exemplar of the Ukrainian spirit.
This exhibition, named after Shevchenko’s famous poem “Dumy moї” (My Thoughts), aims to present the timeless significance of the poet’s messages and the artistic imagery of this true national Kulturträger. The multi-media exhibit explores the phenomenon of admiration for Shevchenko and how his legacy speaks volumes about Ukrainians themselves. Four digital screens display images and accompanying explanatory texts in respective thematic streams.
Dumy moї – My Thoughts exhibition covers a spectrum of emotions from tragedy and sadness to humour, empathy, resilience and the unconquerable Ukrainian spirit, admired by the whole world today.

(ENG below) 24 лютого 2023 року приєднуйтесь до української громади Калґарі, щоб відзначити 365 днів опору, відколи росія розпочала повномасштабне вторгнення в Україну.
Протягом 365 днів захисники України доводили свою відвагу на полі бою перед обличчям нещадного нападу росії.
Протягом 365 днів українське цивільне населення продовжує жити з гідністю та самоповагою, незважаючи на перебої в електропостачанні та постійні ракетні обстріли об’єктів енергетичної та цивільної інфраструктури.
Протягом 365 днів росія скоювала воєнні злочини проти мирної нації та невинних людей. Люди на окупованих територіях піддаються найгіршим формам зла – зґвалтуванням, тортурам, стратам. Понад 2,8 мільйона людей були примусово депортовані до росії. Наразі розслідується 63 000 російських воєнних злочинів.
Протягом 365 днів українці захищали Західну Європу та міжнародну спільноту від цього варварства.
Протягом 365 днів небайдужі громадяни по всьому світу об’єдналися, щоб підтримати українців у важкий для них час. У Канаді близько 130 000 українських новоприбулих знайшли притулок, дах над головою, турботу та підтримку в межах наших кордонів – українці ніколи не забудуть солідарність канадців.
За підтримки Заходу Україна переможе. Вшановуючи 365 днів спротиву, ми запрошуємо всіх калґарійців на мітинг зі свічками. Let us stand shoulder to shoulder and #StandWithUkraine:

Where: Kule Folklore Centre, 250 Arts & Convocation Hall, University of Alberta.
Rooster: A Symbol of Resilience in Ukraine
In April 2022 when Borodyanka, Ukraine was liberated, the world was taken aback by photos of a ceramic rooster, peacefully sitting on a shelf in an apartment which had been destroyed by bombs. This rooster has since become a symbol of the resilience shown by the people of Ukraine. It has been gifted to political leaders who have visited Ukraine, brought knowledge of Ukrainian folklore to the general public through various exhibitions, and has even been the subject of internet memes. This presentation will explore the history behind ceramics and pottery in Ukrainian culture, the symbolism of the rooster in Ukrainian folklore, and its newfound fame after being rescued from a shelf in Borodyanka.
Victoria Kostyniuk received her BA in Modern Languages and Cultural Studies, focusing on Ukrainian and Slavic Studies, from the University of Alberta in 2021. She is currently completing her MA in Transnational and Comparative Literature in the Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies. She hopes to continue her research in the future on Ukrainian church halls in Alberta and their role as heritage spaces for Ukrainian Canadians. In her spare time, Victoria is a Ukrainian dance instructor with St. Basil’s School of Dance.
