UKRAINIAN VOICES: PRESENT AND PAST: Stitching Life and History Together

This timely and relevant world-class event is a ticketed fundraiser for the Center for Civil Liberties, the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize winner. CCL is the first Ukrainian organization to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The ticket purchase price is tax deductible as permitted under US IRS regulations.

The event features:

• Sasha Romantsova, Executive Director, Center for Civil Liberties (https://ccl.org.ua/en/team-2/)

  
  

• Vira Slywotzky, contralto (https://www.viraslywotzky.com/bio/)

• A traveling photo exhibit of traditional Ukrainian clothing by Ksenia Lesnaya 

About the Event Participants:

The Center for Civil Liberties is a leading global human rights charity. CCL has been actively working for the protection of human rights in Ukraine and the OSCE region for 15 years, and is a 2022 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. In 2014, CCL became the first human rights organization to send its own mobile teams to document war crimes in Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions. To this day, CCL continues to do this in all regions where crimes are committed by Russian troops. The main priority of CCL is the restoration of justice for all victims of war crimes. As a human rights defender, CCL is convinced that sustainable peace is impossible without justice. 

Vira Slywotzky, a New York based contralto, enjoys an international career performing opera, concerts and cabaret. She is a Ukrainian American, born and raised in Cambridge, MA, and is committed to keeping the performance of Ukrainian song thriving. In February 2022, her efforts to bring Ukrainian song to a broader audience intensified, and took on new meaning as she began advocating for Ukraine and fundraising for humanitarian aid in Ukraine. 

Ksenia Lesnaya is Ukrainian photographer currently living in Germany as a refugee from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The women depicted in Lesnaya’s photos are displaced members of the Ukrainian Choir Volia, (meaning "freedom" in Ukrainian), as they wear traditional vyshyvanki. The vyshyvanki, collected and protected by a private citizen prior to the onset of war, are 100 to 200 year old traditional symbols of Ukrainian regions, culture and history. This interactive, educational exhibit provides a glimpse into the woven beauty and history of Ukrainian culture. This exhibit will also provide a differing human perspective on the peoples of Ukraine, shed light on the culture and human strength contrary to the portrayal of pain and struggles provided by mainstream media.

The Ukrainian American Educational Center of Boston, Inc, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, establishes and maintains programs for the promulgation of Ukrainian culture, history, language and heritage. Toward this end, UAEC promotes, supports, and conducts educational, religious and social service programs that serve individuals of Ukrainian descent residing within the New England area and the community at large.
