With the support of the ACT Office of Multicultural, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs (Community Service Directory – ACT Government) Original publication by Sara Khalidi 1997 Revised and Edited by Fiona McIlroy 2003 Revised and Edited by Hannah Neumayer 2012 Cultural Dictionary & Directory 2012 - Project of the Migrant and Refugee Settlement Services of the ACT Inc. 1 PREFACE TO THE CULTURAL DICTIONARY The wealth of cultural diversity in Australia is arguably one of its major assets. Acknowledgement of difference and acceptance of each person’s unique qualities, as well as their particular blend of cultural influences can assist people to grow in cultural richness and social strength. However more often than not, perceptions and attitudes are based on the limited understandings we currently hold, and we are all prone to prejudice. The key to cultural understanding lies in an open mind. Given the rise in expressions of racist attitudes in recent times, it is more important than ever to remember that general statements about cultural backgrounds can lead to stereotyping. Stereotyping often undervalues individuals and cultures, and can be based on mistaken assumptions. It must be noted that the brief and general descriptions of a culture or country, such as the snapshots in this Cultural Dictionary, should never be applied in a blanket way to any individual or group.

    Pandemic, but Make It Fashion 27 Pandemic, but Make It Fashion: Ukrainian Embroidered PPE in the Time of COVID-19 Katya Chomitzky University of AlBerta Edmonton, CanaDa Abstract EmBroiDereD panDemic wear has Become one of the newest cultural fashion trenDs to emerge in Ukraine anD within its CanaDian Diaspora. Jis article explores the ways in which emBroidery as a traDitional form of culture retains meaning within moDern contexts, while also serving as a vehicle for experimenting with atypical applications of cultural symbols and representations. roughout the COVID-19 pandemic, cloth masks have been recommended by public health officials, including the World Health Organization, as a preventative measure to limit the spreaD of the virus. On the Basis of Digital fielDwork, I Discuss the meanings anD inspirations behind these emBroiDereD masks, while conDucting a material culture analysis of the oBjects themselves. I argue that, through a suBversion of their common purpose— to hide one’s identity— masks have been used in the pandemic as an open/performative display of culture. I contend that this Display acts as a means to promote traDition through ephemera anD assert cultural importance. Jis, coupled with the personal/private use of embroidery as a protective talisman, has fueled a trenD of emBroidereD personal protective equipment in popular culture. In this article, I examine the purpose, use, and form of these masks in order to bring light to the ways in which cultural traDitions anD objects act (and developed prevalence) as a form of pandemic response. IntroDuction As an integral part of Ukraine’s national cultural history, emBroidery retains a prolific heritage through its use in folklore, traditional costume, and various household and spiritual objects.

The present is a site of contestation between memory and history, as well as a site for recounting the distant past by reflecting it through the prism of the present. The transition from the Soviet Union to independent states in 1991 triggered tensions within these newly created nation-states, with the collective and individual past being given a range of new interpretations. The connection between memory and identity obtained a renewed force.

СПРАВА: ДЕНЬ ВИШИВАНКИ – ОДЯГНИ ВИШИВАНКУ! Всеукраїнське народне свято, День Вишиванки, відзначається щороку в третій четвер травня. Цього року День Вишиванки припадає на 21травня. У цей день, українці по цілому світі носять на святі традиційні вишиті сорочки чи вишиванки. Українська традиційна вишита сорочка - це не просто гарний одяг, але її часто називають генетичним кодом нашої нації! Подаємо кілька пропозицій, як можна святкувати День Вишиванки, під час ізоляції! • У цей день кожен охочий може долучитись до свята, одягнувши вишиванку (зробіть власне фото або селфі у вишиванці). • Організуйте онлайн-дискотеку - «Танці у вишиванці» (знімати його). • Почніть власну вишивку (зробіть фото вишивки). • Спробуйте, скільки речей/людей можете одягнути у вишиванку (зробіть фото всього разом). • Складіть кілька українських танцювальних кроків разом та поділіться коротким відео у вишивці – українські танці ніби в стилі танці TikTok. • Люблю вишивати (зробіть фото виготовленої вишивки). • Вишиванка з цікавим фоном (зробіть власне фото або селфі). • А може, ви щось інше придумайте зробити у своїй вишиванці? Вишліть їх нам! Також додаємо в прикріплені, декілька файлів, які можуть вам стати корисними як джерело натхнення і дати кілька ідей щодо вироблення власної вишивки. День Вишиванки 2020 присвячується українській родині та родоводу Закликаємо кожного присвятити ізоляційний період дослідженню власного роду. Формування дерева роду - не тільки захоплива справа, це - вкрай важлива складова повернення історичної пам’яті цілого народу. Розпитайте у родичів про своїх пра-прадідів, звідки вони родом, ким були і які насправді мали прізвища.
