In our series of DIY workshops, we will now be looking into the centuries old but very now tradition of Vyshyvanka, the famous embroidery technique from Ukraine. Apart from telling stories and being connected to different regions, a Vyshyvanka is believed to be a talisman, bringing luck and protection to the person wearing the garment. Especially now, the shops that are selling Vyshyvanka's are busy, selling clothing that gives people strength. The embroiderers have presently shifted to ‘embroidering’ camouflage nets to protect Ukrainian soldiers. During the Vyshyvanka workshop led by Bogdana Postrygan, the cultural language, and meanings of Vyshyvanka are introduced and explained, and different stitches and colours are tried out in an individual sampler. Then a collective design is made that will apply the language of Vyshyvanka to a camouflage net and thus raise the tradition to a form of resistance.
