PYSANKY.
REBORN
About the project
The All-Ukrainian Pysanka Festival in Kyiv dates back to 2016... This extraordinary art performance aimed to support and popularise Ukrainian folk traditions, develop folk art, and study the culture and history of the Ukrainian people.
According to the beliefs of our distant ancestors, Pysanka (Easter Egg) had a magical good power — it brought happiness, prosperity, and well-being, and protected its owner from evil.
We sincerely believe that these Pysanky (Easter Eggs), which survived the war, will become a real talisman of our great country! Each symbolism depicted will fulfill its important purpose!

A new location for Pysanky is Dobropark, a unique arboretum in Ukraine, where 5,000,000 tulips bloomed.
2022
A year of a brutal war... Unfortunately, the enemy mercilessly attacked Dobropark, where most of the Pysanky were kept at that time...
