    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.

As fiber-based art has grown more mainstream, however, its material-based, multidisciplinary practice risks being compromised, overlooked, or assimilated by the contemporary art world.

  • The Pattern of Ukrainian Canadian Weddings* Українські Весілля В Канаді
    ЕТНІЧНА ІСТОРІЯ НАРОДІВ ЄВРОПИ Sogu HONG Seoul THE PATTERN OF UKRAINIAN CANADIAN WEDDINGS* Соґу ГОНҐ Сеул УКРАЇНСЬКІ ВЕСІЛЛЯ В КАНАДІ У статті автор розглядає українське весілля в Канаді протягом останніх п’ятнадцяти років. Опис ґрунується, головним чином, на власних польових матеріалах, зібраних в Едмо- нтоні. Автор поділяє весілля на три етапи: передвесільний, весільний (богослужіння і при- йом) і післявесільний. В кожному етапі виділяються українські елементи, зокрема символи і обряди, які виражають українську ідентичність. Ключові слова: українські канадці, весілля, обряди, етнічна ідентичність, фольклор. I. Intorduction Ukrainian Canadian weddings are syntheses of traditions and rituals from the ancestral homeland and the new environment. Earlier traditions were adapted in the creation of new, modified practices. Once an initial Ukrainian-Canadian structure was established, it continued to change throughout the last century. The history of the Ukrainian Canadian wedding can be divided into two time periods: before and after 1945. Surprisingly, few systematic ethnographic studies on Ukrainian Canadian weddings of this first period have been published. In many cases, Ukrainian wedding customs were partially described in discussion of other issues. Swyripa discussed a number of sources related to Ukrainian Canadian weddings from a historian’s perspective by using wedding records as a research resource1.According to Swyripa (1993), marriage was an area where the Canadian environment had a significant impact on and joined forces with the imperatives of the Ukrainian community to affect both attitudes and practices (p. 79). The issues that would dominate discussions about Ukrainian Canadian marriages had all been raised by 1910. For example, it has been claimed that for twenty-five or thirty dollars, Ukrainian immigrants routinely "sold" their thirteen- and fourteen-year-old daughters into marriage (p.
