Ukrainian National Home, 140 2nd Avenue New York, NY 10003
Join the Liberty Ukraine Foundation and Nastasya Semenyuk for a night of poetry. The poetry of Nastasya Semenyuk brings both smiles and tears — it’s a form of therapy where no words are needed, only the incredible voice of the poetess, gently cleansing the soul through tears. Many thank her for these tears, because sincere crying isn’t always about sorrow.

Rushnyky: Sacred Ukrainian Textiles Exhibition
Running through Sunday, November 16,
Glencairn Museum, 1001 Cathedral Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA, 19009
“A house without a rushnyk is not a home.” — Ukrainian proverb. While the word rusknyk can refer to an ordinary towel, the ceremonial rushnyk is distinct in its ornamentation and cultural significance. In almost any Ukrainian home, the family icons—and more recently, family photographs—would be draped with rushnyky, offering protection to the family, home, and village. These clothes appear in all family rituals: infants are wrapped in them at birth, and they play a central role in betrothal and wedding ceremonies. Remarkably, despite the turmoil of the 20th and 21st centuries, the rushnyk continues to be an integral part of Ukrainian culture. Glencairn Museum is proud to host this traveling exhibition from the Icon Museum and Study Center in Clinton, Massachusetts. Curated by Professor Franklin Sciacca, the exhibition features rushnyky and related artifacts from his collection.
