NEW EXHIBITION

TESTAMENT • ZAPOVIT
IHOR RODION DMYTRUK
June 21 – October 17, 2026

Testament – Zapovit is the first retrospective of Ihor Rodion Dmytruk (1938–2021), a Ukrainian Canadian artist whose life was shaped by war, displacement, and rebuilding. Born near Lviv, Ukraine and forced to flee Soviet persecution as a child, he later settled in Alberta, where he established a long career as both an artist and influential teacher.

This exhibition displays his work alongside many of the objects that inspired him, drawn from the permanent collection of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada – Ontario Branch. Together, these pieces explore post-WW2 Ukrainian immigration to Canada and aspects of Ukrainian culture that have endured despite russian efforts to erase them.

Organized by the Ukrainian Museum of Canada (National), Testament – Zapovit premiered in 2024 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and is presented in Toronto by the Ukrainian Museum of Canada – Ontario Branch.

A vyshyvanka is more than an embroidered shirt — it is history you can wear. Each stitch carries memory, identity, and a shared cultural language shaped by region, village, and hand. On Vyshyvanka Day, we honour this living tradition and the enduring threads that connect generations. 💙💛

З днем вишиванки! Happy Vyshyvanka Day!
