On September 7-8, the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Rural Life of Ukraine will host a unique event - the Living Culture - Living World festival. This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the richness of the Ukrainian intangible cultural heritage, discover traditions that have already become part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, and enjoy vivid examples of folk craftsmanship.

What awaits you at the festival?

The event will feature elements of cultural heritage that are important symbols of Ukrainian identity. Among them:

• Petrykivka Decorative Painting - a bright and colorful style of folk art known for its floral ornaments and fantasy birds. It is used to decorate houses, dishes, and other household items.

• Cossack songs of Dnipropetrovska oblast are a unique genre of folk art that preserves the spirit of the Ukrainian Cossacks. These songs convey the history of the Cossacks' struggles and victories, their love for their native land.

• Kosiv painted ceramics is an art of pottery from western Ukraine that is famous for its ornamentation and painting techniques. Products from Kosiv are recognizable due to their unique style and color schemes.

• The Crimean Tatar ornament “ornek” is a traditional symbol of Crimean Tatar culture that has been passed down from generation to generation. The ornament reflects the rich world of Crimean folk crafts and is an important symbol of Crimean Tatar identity.

• The culture of cooking Ukrainian borsch is one of the most important traditions of Ukrainian cuisine, which is included in the UNESCO Intangible Heritage List. This classic Ukrainian soup is not only a gastronomic symbol, but also a cultural phenomenon that unites people of different generations.
