THUNDER BAY – The Thunder Bay Museum has opened a new community-led exhibit that organizers said embodies the physical expressions of cultural traditions .
“It's the mothers and the babushkas that have taught and passed on the Ukrainian traditions - they keep the flame burning and alive,” said Huzan. The exhibit will also feature child- and adult-specific workshops throughout the summer that teach Ukrainian artistry passed down through generations, such as embroidery, Pysanky or Ukrainian Easter eggs, and Ukrainian wedding bread decoration crafting.
"The exhibit goes on for six months and there's a lot of information with every artifact. We suggest that people give themselves enough time to read the little stories about the items, where they came from, who brought them, and who made them," said Huzan.Scott Bradley, the museum's executive director, said this exhibit is the perfect start to their new community partnership, a new addition to the museum with the goal of allowing guest curators to use their own voice.
