Ivan Honchar Museum opens exhibition of children’s artwork from "I Am Mamay" contest – Gnat Korobko 

"We received many wonderful entries from all corners of Ukraine. Each one presents a unique "Mamay’ – a distinct vision of this Ukrainian hero, along with individual stories and values. The jury was truly delighted as they reviewed the drawings to select the finalists. The exhibition will remain open until November 28," Korobko said.

According to Korobko, the exhibition showcases children’s interpretations of the traditional figure of Cossack Mamay.

"Twenty works were chosen for the exhibition – pieces in which the young artists creatively reinterpreted the figure of Cossack Mamay: a hero who embodies freedom and strength, peace-loving nature and wisdom, possessing a poetic soul while remaining ever-ready for battle and defense," he said.

The project team also gave one entry a special distinction.

"Another entry received a special distinction from the "Know Your Ukraine’ team – "The One That Touched the Heart’. It was striking for its sincerity and unexpected power," Korobko added.

The exhibition runs until November 28. According to the museum’s announcement, visitors can attend Wednesday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at 19 Lavrska Street, Kyiv.
