Exhibition
Ivan Honchar, the Collector — Forty Years of Travels Across Ukraine
Ivan Honchar Museum — Ukrainian Centre of Folk Culture
The past exhibition traced the path of Ivan Honchar (1911-1993) as ethnographer and collector — a person who, over more than four decades, personally travelled through Ukrainian villages, recording crafts, purchasing and rescuing family artifacts from destruction. The exposition presented Honchar's field diaries with photographs, sketches of peasant huts, drawings of folk dress, audio recordings of conversations with village elders from the Hutsul, Poltava, Polissia, Sloboda regions. A separate section displayed Honchar's letters to Mykhailo Stelmakh, Oles Honchar (the writer), Serhii Parajanov, discussing the importance of preserving ethnographic heritage. The exhibition showed how one person became the rescuer of an entire layer of Ukrainian material culture in an era when it was under threat of being forgotten.
