Braids & Ribbons🎀

In most Slavic cultures, it was a tradition for unmarried girls to have their hair in braids, and in some cultures, tied with a ribbon too.

Once a girl got married, she would have to tuck and hide her hair in a headdress, headscarf or cap/bonnet. (I will talk more about this in my next posts❤️)

In many cultures, as part of the marriage ceremony, girls would have their hair braided into two parts, then put into a crown hairstyle as shown above, before finally having their hair covered during or after the ceremony.

Braids and ribbons can symbolise a young girl's beauty and freedom❤️

In many areas, ribbons are worn on the tail of the braids as shown above, at the top from the Łowicz region, Poland🇵🇱 & from the Brest (Брест) region, Пружаны, Belarus🇧🇾❤️

traditional cross-dressing on ukrainian malanka holiday. the woman is dressed as vasyl (folk adaptation of st. basil) and the man is dressed as malanka (folk adaptation of st. melania).

during this holiday, ukrainians honor the ancestral spirits and imitate them by dressing as animals and opposite genders, since it is believed that the otherworld blurs the line between male and female, as well as between man and beast.

People cry about discarding russian books destroying Ukrainian science, while the opposite is actually true: overreliance on russian and soviet sources is what holding Ukrainian education back, especially when it comes to universities.

For example, I relied heavily on Vladimir Propp when I was writing my bachelor's thesis on Oedipus. Once I found one of his articles in an American anthology, and I was shocked to discover the editor described the text I so heavily relied on as "historically important for the field, but obviously outdated." And the anthology itself was from the 90's, so this wasn't a new development in any way!

Never, not even once during my university course on folklore studies did we ever mentioned why Propp might be considered outdated. So many russian and soviet thinkers have been left in our curriculums unchallenged, because the professors (even those familiar with postcolonial theory) got used to them and never bothered to teach about the alternatives.

Cossack Mamay (2022)

This work was inspired by the image of the Cossack Ivan Bohun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Bohun) and the Ukrainian folklore hero of the 17th century - the Cossack Mamay (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossack_Mamay). This is my tribute to the Ukrainian people and also to my ancestors, who had the surname Mamaeu, descendants of Mamay...

Bandura players - Lviv, ca.1950's.

A bandura is a Ukrainian plucked-string folk-instrument. It combines elements of the zither and lute and, up until the 1940s, was also often called a kobza. Early instruments ( c. 1700) had 5 to 12 strings and resembled lutes.
