The world premiere of Shumka’s UKRAINKA: The Four Faces of Lesya Ukrainka celebrates the renowned Ukrainian artist, storyteller, poet, and humanitarian.

Shumka’s newest production focuses on the “four faces” of Lesya Ukrainka – the dreamer, the traditionalist, the lover, and the leader. Her hope for Ukraine’s independence in a series of troubled times is as poignant as ever today.

Alberta Council for the Ukrainian Arts Signature Artist Series:
“Portrait Over Portrait: Following the Matrilineal Line is an ancestral exploration following Ukrainian heritage in our matrilineal line. We are exploring loved ones from memory, imagining the faces and activities of passed relatives, as well as referencing old photos. Through this work we are making meaning from our family history. In oil, watercolor, pastel, crayon, graphite, and collage, we are experimenting with our mother-daughter-artist relationship. We respond to each other’s work, give each other prompts, and even co-create on the same canvas. We are also exploring self-portraiture and examining characteristics that have been passed down, noticing similarities and idiosyncrasies particular to the Haykowsky line. Through portraiture we are documenting stories of the women who came before us. These paintings are a way of bringing them to life and celebrating them.”

St. Nicholas Youth & Family Ministry is dedicated to building the domestic church as a way to strengthen our Ukrainian Catholic Parish. It is noy only in faith that we grow, but in our relationships with one another and Christ. By hosting events such as game nights, movie nights, cultural workshops, and retreats, we hope to continue to offer a place for youth to discover their faith, judgement free, and for families to grow in their ability to serve as Christ served. As we continue to reduce the barriers to our programs, we engage in fundraising activities to cover the costs of running such programs. Events are for any to enjoy, not just those who belong to St. Nicholas Ukrainain Catholic Parish. All of the proceeds from this market will go toward supporting youth and family programming in our church.

Opening Reception

ACUA, in collaboration with the Kule Folklore Centre at the University of Alberta, is celebrating the folklore and folk tales of communities past.
Folk tales reflect the Ukrainian spirit, including the hopes, dreams, and wisdom of its people. As we read these tales there is a wonder as to what life held for individuals in the past. The lessons within the stories have been nurturing minds, teaching values and history, and providing endless entertainment for years.
Common plot lines include:
• Perseverance in the face of adversity
• Celebrating what we have
• The small and the weak can help the big and the strong
• Respect for freedom and the natural world
• Conflicts resolved through kindness, courage, and wit
During times of foreign occupation, folklore was one of the few means of cultural expression as it allowed authors, artists, and scholars to encourage national pride. Every story unveils a path of adventure, learning and intrigue in daily life.

Film Synopsis
Mary Pekaruk’s mother is at death’s door. She boards a transatlantic flight home but arrives too late. A magpie appears as Mary steps into the role of matriarch. Is it the soul of her mother guiding her? As the family grieves and plans the funeral Mary begs her boyfriend Todd in London to show, but he doesn’t. Home for Christmas, Joe, a widowed pro-hockey player and his son deliver a package from his mother. As Mary fills her mother’s bakery orders, tends to the farm, and revisits her youth and Ukrainian customs her attraction to Joe grows. When Joe leaves, she is torn and confused about her life’s direction. She returns to London, finds Todd with another woman and high tails it back to Canada to reopen her mother’s bakery and a law office. Joe and Luke arrive at the opening with news that Joe has taken a nearby coaching job. The next Christmas Eve Mary hosts dinner for the family who are gathered and the magpie, satisfied, flies away.
