Wyshywanka-Day 2023
On 18 May 2023, while still part of the initiative group ‘Mit der Ukraine im Herzen’ (With Ukraine in our hearts), we organised the first Vyshyvanka Day in Marburg, which took place on the square near the Elisabethkirche.
The main part of the programme was dedicated to performances by local Ukrainian talents, who sang, danced, played instruments and recited poems. Drawing tables were organised for children, where young creative minds could let their imagination run wild. The event was supported by our volunteers, who provided traditional Ukrainian food for everyone.
The artists included:
- Anastasiia Marfenko
- Yelisey Fomichov
- Kateryna Sokolova
- Maria Semyrko
- Yevheniia Fomicheva-Hydzenko
- Olena Nidoharok
Each of the performers came to Germany fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine and had their own tragic story to tell.
