Dive into the world of Ukrainian culture with Ukrainian-born artist Zaryana Bezu's figurines inspired by Ukrainian folklore. "Rooted in the rich fusion of pagan Slavic traditions and Christian symbolism, my work draws from the deep well of Ukrainian folklore," shares Bezu. 

These spirits reflect the deep spiritual connection between the Ukrainian people and the natural world. 

In addition, discover the pathways that brought Ukrainian families to the Westerville area with oral histories recorded in collaboration with the Ukrainian Cultural Association of Ohio (UCAO).
