The Weight We Carried
Observing the difficult three year anniversary of Ukraine’s full-scale invasion, this exhibition features the intimate stories of displaced Ukrainians who didn’t know when they’d return home. This collection of objects shows us the power of treasured family heirlooms as well as the seemingly ordinary things grabbed in the moment of departure.
We invite you to feel the spirit of a community that has carried its heritage proudly through all trials.

Celebrate this national event at a local level.

A mixture of dance groups, face painting, and Ukrainian food stalls will be kicking off festivities at the North Inch.
Visit the Civic Hall to see the free Ukrainian exhibition. Discover vyshyvanka, a traditional Ukrainian style of embroidery where each stitch tells a story of cultural heritage. See the Children's Global Tapestry for Peace, inspired by the powerful art of Ukrainian children who, through drawing angels during art therapy workshops, found solace and a voice amidst the trauma of war.
The Museum of Ukrainian Craft and Culture Scotland presents the richness and originality of the outstanding Ukrainian artist Maria Prymachenko.
