Over 200 guests gathered at the Art Gallery of Ontario on May 12 for the 2022 Tryzub Awards Gala to honour two individuals for their contribution to strengthening the Ukrainian brand – (Ret.) Lt.-Gen. Paul Wynnyk and
Dr. Timothy Snyder.
An event that was first sidelined by the pandemic, and then almost derailed by the war, organically transformed into a tribute to the Ukrainian people, a nation that has grown immeasurably in size. Both honorees complemented each other in delivering a single message of praise, support, and conviction in Ukraine’s final victory. Ukraine’s European future is within its grasp and most importantly, the Ukrainian people are not fighting alone. |

ALINA by Lianna Makuch |
Alina is a one-act play inspired by the true experiences of a 19-year-old volunteer Ukrainian combat medic who leaves everything behind to go to the front line of one of the deadliest battles of the war in Eastern Ukraine in 2015 — the battle for the Donetsk Airport. But it is when she returns home to the shock of “peaceful” civilian life that she realizes her struggle does not end at the front. Alina premiered in Edmonton May 24-June 5. |

VYSHYVANI KAZKY by Ayla Dmyterko |
Embroidered Tales traces the routes of the artist's ancestors from the Carpathian Mountains and the Ivano-Frankivsk region of Western Ukraine; through the Glasgow Ports to Montréal; back to the prairies; unravelling complex sociocultural histories of place and cultural memory. The exhibition was held at Zalucky Contemporary in Toronto from April 30-May 28 as part of the CONTACT Photography Festival. |
