The Return Of Ancestral Gods
Book Launch at Oseredok.
The Return Of Ancestral Gods:
Modern Ukrainian Paganism Between Politics and
Aesthetics
Drawing
upon her book The
Return of Ancestral Gods: Modern Ukrainian Paganism as an Alternative Vision
for a Nation,
Dr. Mariya Lesiv will introduce the new religious movement
of contemporary Ukrainian Paganism. The movement saw
its most vibrant development in the post-World War II Ukrainian North American
diaspora and post-Soviet Ukraine. Today, although in decline in the diaspora,
it is rapidly growing in Ukraine, involving many different Pagan communities
and thousands of believers. Dr. Lesiv
will focus on the aesthetics of this new religion and how it may influence the further
development of Ukrainian Paganism.
Dr.
Mariya Lesiv is an Assistant Professor of Folklore at Memorial University of
Newfoundland
Dr. Lesiv’s book may be purchased at Oseredok

Andriana Chuchman and Tracy Dahl Perform at Oseredok’s Benefit Gala
Oseredok Ukrainian Cultural
and Educational Centre is hosting a performance of soprano Andriana Chuchman
and her mentor Tracy Dahl at a Benefit Concert Dinner Gala “From the Met to the
Met.” The event will take place Saturday, May 10, 2014 at the Metropolitan
Entertainment Centre in Winnipeg with presenting sponsor Canad Inns Your
Destination Centres.
Andriana Chuchman will be
appearing fresh from her début at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York
earlier this year .Commenting on her most recent success, she declared, “In a
way, my journey to the Met began in my childhood and youth singing Ukrainian
songs around a campfire and in Ukrainian community and church choirs and
performing with my sister, Olesia, as the “Chuchman Sisters” at various
Ukrainian events and festivals in Canada and in the U.S.A.. This gave me pride
in my Ukrainian heritage and culture. I grew to value institutions like
Oseredok for its resources of Ukrainian music and culture that allowed me to
develop a Ukrainian repertoire.”
Ms. Chuchman, a native of
Winnipeg, graduated from the School of Music at the University of Manitoba in
Voice Performance under the tutelage and mentorship of Tracy Dahl. Her career
blossomed into singing leading roles at leading opera houses including Lyric
Opera of Chicago, Washington National Opera, Glimmerglass Festival, Canadian
Opera Company, Glyndebourne Opera in England, as well as the Edmonton and
Manitoba Opera companies, among others. Her recent performances at the
Metropolitan Opera have been received with critical acclaim, with her début
described as “an assured, sparkling success”, and her voice having a “melting
fullness, shifting with exuberant vigor from long, lyrical phrases to
glittering little tumble of notes” (New York Times).
Tracy Dahl, Canada’s premier
coloratura soprano Tracy Dahl leads an illustrious career that has brought her
together with major opera houses such as La Scala in Milan, the Metropolitan
Opera in New York, San Francisco Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Canadian Opera
Company, the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris and also the Vancouver and Manitoba
Opera Companies, to name a few. Ms. Dahl, also a native of Winnipeg, inspires
developing artists as a role model, teaching at the University of Manitoba,
Faculty of Music, and also at young artist programs in Canada and the U.S.A.,
including the Adler and Merola Opera programs at the San Francisco Opera
Center, and the Banff Centre. Critics have described her voice as possessing
“superlative coloratura” (Globe and Mail) and being “deliciously accurate,
stratospheric” (Opera).

Exhibition at Oseredok!
THE ART OF REVOLUTION: THE
POLITICAL AESTHETICS OF UKRAINE'S EUROMAIDAN
Posters from the early days in Independence
Square.
The
poster images that adorned Kyiv’s Independence Square or the Euromaidan during
the heady days of late November and December 2013 capture the energy and
vitality of this transformative process. The betrayal of Ukraine’s European
future by the country’s governing elite and their subsequent attempt at
brutally silencing both opponents and critics brought out hundreds of thousands
in protest to the Maidan.
Accompanied
by first-person accounts and other reports, the fifty posters displayed at
Oseredok circulated widely on the Maidan. Designed and created for mass
distribution through the medium of the private printer, they testify to a deep
desire for a change and are symbolic of the best impulses of a society
mobilizing in its own defense.
