About Exhibition
It is with great pleasure and pride that Oseredok Cultural and Educational Centre invites you to join us on October 31st, 2022, for the opening of our newest exhibitions The Immersive World of Ukrainian Art/Імерсивнний Світ Українського Мистецтва and Ukraine: Land of the Brave/Україна: Земля Хоробрих!
This double-feature immersive exhibition has two distinct areas of focus: The Immersive World of Ukrainian Art/Імерсивнний Світ Українського Мистецтва is a family-friendly exhibition which celebrates the creative achievements of Ukrainians from around the world. Ukraine: Land of the Brave/Україна: Земля Хоробрих is recommended for audiences 16+ as the exhibition focuses on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and includes imagery which may not be suitable for younger audiences. Visit Oseredok’s galleries for the chance to explore both of these free exhibitions this fall!
Immersive exhibitions combine modern multimedia technologies with traditional ones to allow the visitor to immerse themselves in sound, light, and imagery. At 30 minutes in length each, The Immersive World of Ukrainian Art/Імерсивнний Світ Українського Мистецтва and Ukraine: Land of the Brave/Україна: Земля Хоробрих, are the most ambitious Ukrainian immersive exhibitions to debut in North America, representing the hard work of many individuals in Canada, Ukraine, and around the world.
The Immersive World of Ukrainian Art/Імерсивнний Світ Українського Мистецтва features animated representations of artwork set to original musical compositions. The artworks featured represent some of Ukraine’s most significant and acclaimed artists, such as Taras Shevchenko, who is considered by many to be Ukraine’s most famous artist, and Maria Prymachenko, the artist Pablo Picasso called “an artistic miracle”. The exhibition will also feature artworks from Oseredok’s museum, archival, and fine art collections, showcasing items not previously on display to the public.
In Ukraine: Land of the Brave/Україна: Земля Хоробрих, visitors will have the opportunity to hear the voices of ordinary Ukrainians under the extraordinary circumstance of being plunged into war. The exhibition features footage captured by journalists and photographers such as Sergey Loiko and Dmytro Kozatsky, whose work on the front lines has given a human face to this conflict, as well as materials from leading Ukrainian media channels.
The evocative visuals in this exhibition are combined with an original score by composer Timur Polyanskiy. Polyanskiy took inspiration from various style of music from classical, to Ukrainian folk songs, to jazz, to the renowned scores of Olexander Koshetz, one of Oseredok’s founding members, to create an unforgettable auditory experience.
Enjoy The Immersive World of Ukrainian Art/Імерсивнний Світ Українського Мистецтва and Ukraine: Land of the Brave/Україна: Земля Хоробрих from October 31st, 2022-April 30th, 2023, only at Oseredok Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre.
