Vyshyvanka: The Code of Identity

Heritage Open Day: Discover “Vyshyvanka: The Code of Identity”, a unique textile exhibition featuring handmade embroidered tapestries inspired by the regions of Ukraine, exploring memory, identity, heritage and cultural resilience through ornament and craft. The exhibition explores Ukrainian identity, memory and cultural heritage through a collection of handmade embroidered tapestries inspired by traditional Vyshyvanka ornaments from across Ukraine.

The project is the idea of Viktoriya Shtanko and was created by Ukrainian women and children displaced by war and now living in the UK. Together, participants contributed to works representing different regions of Ukraine through traditional embroidery patterns, symbols and handcrafted artistic expression.
