Holodomor Awareness Month

At Oseredok

 

About the Exhibition

Holodomor is a Ukrainian word meaning to kill by starvation. From 1932 to 1933, the Soviet Union, led by Stalin, orchestrated a genocide that killed millions of Ukrainians. For decades, the Soviets hid this crime by isolating their occupied territories from the rest of the world, spreading propaganda, and intimidating witnesses. Soviets, and subsequently Russians, have always denied the fact of this genocide, and no one was ever punished for these crimes. This exhibition, which will be presented in Manitoba for the first time, was created by the Ukrainian artist Yulia Fedorovych. An augmented reality poster series aims to educate people about the history and consequences of this genocide, which took the lives of millions. This project uses a universally understood pictographic language alongside augmented reality tools that help bring the visuals to life.

The exhibition is bilingual (English and Ukrainian), interactive, and accessible to people of all ages and abilities.

• Visit Oseredok and scan the QR code on the panels to see, hear, and learn more about the Holodomor.
• Watch Yulia Fedorovych’s documentary about the Holodomor Survivor, ‘My Name is Eugenia Sakevych-Dallas.’
