International Folk Art

Description

Join artist and ethnographer Sofika Zielyk as she discusses the colorful history and tradition of the Ukrainian Easter egg known as the pysanka (писанка). Zielyk will detail the step-by-step process of creating a pysanka and delve into the myths, symbols, and lore of its complex geometric shapes and designs. Showcasing a display of her hand-crafted pysanky and calling on her ongoing exhibit The Pysanka: A Symbol of Hope, featured at the Ukrainian Institute of America in New York City, Zielyk will explore the pysanka’s evolution from its pagan roots to its current place as a symbol of Ukrainian resistance. The talk will include a Q&A session. ASL interpretation will be provided.

Included with Museum Admission to be paid in person ($7 NM Residents, $12 Non-Residents).
