  • Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Ontario Branch 620 Spadina Avenue Toronto, ON, M5S 2H4 Canada (map)

The Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Ontario Branch presents, Repurposed a solo exhibit featuring tapestry artworks by Myroslava Boikiv.

Myroslava Boikiv, a Ukrainian textile and watercolour artist based in Toronto, Canada, draws deeply from her upbringing in Kovalivka, a village nestled in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. Inspired by the rich rural and traditional Ukrainian culture of her youth, she now navigates the urban landscape of Toronto while maintaining a profound connection to her roots. Despite the challenges imposed by the Soviet system's suppression of language, history, and culture—issues that persist today, albeit with ongoing progress - Myroslava's art serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of Ukrainian identity.

With a background as an art restorer at the National Museum of Hutsulshchyna & Pokuttia Folk Art and as the curator of the Pysanka Museum in Kolomyia, she brings a wealth of experience in preserving and promoting Ukrainian folk art. Myroslava’s artworks have been displayed in galleries and museums across Ukraine, Germany, Poland, and Canada. Additionally, her pieces have found homes in private collections worldwide.
