With the support of the "Vilna" space, the Marko Kropyvnytskyi Central Library was transformed into a realm of magic, creativity, and living tradition.
The initiator of the event was the "Art-Spokusa" Cultural and Artistic Association, and the mentor was the Honored Master of Folk Art of Ukraine Tetiana Uliankina — a guardian of authentic techniques and symbols.
Participants immersed themselves in a world of myths, learning about the sacred meaning behind the Tsarivna-Maiakivna (Princess of the Lighthouse) image. They handcrafted their own amulets using natural fabrics in delicate sea, sun, and sky shades. Every color, every ribbon, and every turn of the thread held its own significance—from the light of the road to the hope of return.
The doll, holding fire in its raised hands, became a symbol of life, faith, and warmth for those who are far away, on a journey, or searching for their path.
This was more than just a creative meeting; it was a dialogue with tradition, memory, and the heart.
