On the occasion of the 79th anniversary of the genocide of the Crimean Tatar people, the Mission, together with 14 cultural institutions, initiated a series of exhibition projects “Crimea. A Different View”. In Kyiv, Dnipro, Chernihiv, Lviv, and Kmytiv, Ukrainian museums and other art venues presented exhibitions and individual artworks related to the occupied Crimea, the history of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people, and the unity of the Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As you know, Russia has already appropriated and looted objects of Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar culture after the annexation of Crimea in 1783. Both the USSR and Russia tried to ignore the Crimean Tatars, and this was clearly reflected in the art of the Soviet period. We see paintings with beautiful Crimean landscapes, but often there are no people, no indigenous people,” said Permanent Representative Tamila Tasheva during a public discussion “Cultural reception of Crimea: the decolonial aspect” at the National Art Museum of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the projects was unique and attracted the attention of many visitors. Some of the exhibitions will last longer, so we invite you to visit them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition at the I.P. Kavaleridze Museum and Workshop in Kyiv will run until June 10. In two halls, visitors will see lithographs and engravings by 19th-century European authors such as James Gray, Joseph Mayer, Carl Helfart, and Roland Weibensal, made during their stay on the Crimean peninsula, from the private collection of Lera Litvinova. A separate exhibition will feature rare old maps depicting the Crimean peninsula from the Sheremetyev Museum. The exhibition also features contemporary sculpture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the works can be an eye-opener for Ukrainian society, for example, sketches of Crimean Tatar patterns made by Lesya Ukrainka during her stay in Crimea and her acquaintance with the culture of the indigenous people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Museum of Outstanding Figures of Ukrainian Culture of Lesia Ukrainka, Mykola Lysenko, Panas Saksahanskii, and Mykhailo Staritskyi will host an exhibition of Lesia Ukrainka’s sketches of Crimean Tatar ornaments until May 31. Restrictions of martial law did not allow to show the originals, the exhibition presents exact photocopies of the poetess’ sketches. The artist mentioned these sketches in a letter to Mykhailo Drahomanov dated September 3, 1891: “I would like to publish one thing, in fact, Tatar patterns that I collected in the Crimea, there are many of them and they are very good, and they are very similar to Ukrainian ones.” The Mission supported the printing of Lesya Ukrainka’s sketches of Crimean Tatar ornaments in the format of presentation materials. The museum invites you to excursions that tell little-known facts about the life of Lesya Ukrainka and her family, including those related to Crimea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lviv hosted 2 exhibitions at once: the National Museum named after Andrey Sheptytsky hosted a one-day exhibition of Crimean works by Ivan Trush, a tour and a lecture on his Crimean works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also in Lviv, Madame Palmgren Art Gallery presented a group exhibition of works by young and well-known Ukrainian artists whose works were created in Crimea or dedicated to the Ukrainian peninsula. Director of the art gallery Victoria Rybak said: “In 2014, from March 14 to March 31, to support the Crimeans (a pseudo-referendum was to be held on March 16 on the separation of Crimea from Ukraine), the gallery, with the support of the city council, opened an exhibition “Crimea in the Heart of Lviv”, which featured works by ten of the brightest representatives of the Crimean school of painting of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries – both internationally recognized masters and young talented authors.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Dnipro, two exhibitions of Serhiy Burbel’s series of works dedicated to Crimea and the deportation of Crimean Tatars opened: at the Dnipro Art Museum and the Vadym Sidur School of Contemporary Fine Arts and Design. Also, Serhiy Burbel’s works were presented at the Consulate General of Ukraine and in Hamburg (Germany).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
