Busy season for Ukrainian Canadian Program
at Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies
EDMONTON – The summer and fall
of 2001 were a busy time for the
Ukrainian Canadian Program at the
Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies.
While research on various aspects of the
history of Ukrainians in Canada during
the interwar period has been continuing
through the combined efforts of Orest
Martynowych, Andrij Makuch and Jars
Balan, the UCP has likewise been
involved with several initiatives designed
to facilitate the further development of
Ukrainian Canadian studies.
Besides assisting students at universities
in Canada and abroad who are investigating
a wide range of Ukrainian
Canadian topics (from Paul Crath to the
Ukrainian Labor-Farmer Temple
Association), the UCP has been actively
encouraging greater cooperation between
the Center for Ukrainian Canadian
Studies at the University of Manitoba,
the Prairie Center for the Study of
Ukrainian Heritage at the University of
Saskatchewan, and the Huculak Chair of
Ukrainian Folklore at the University of
Alberta.
In conjunction with the latter endeavor,
the program successfully launched a
periodic e-mail bulletin called Field
Notes from Ukrainian Canada. Intended
for scholars, students and others who are
interested in keeping abreast of the latest
news in Ukrainian Canadian studies, the
Internet newsletter is now being received
by more than 80 subscribers.
In order to increase public awareness
of the work of the Ukrainian Canadian
Program, its co-directors Messrs. Balan
SASKATOON – This winter season,
the Prairie Center for the Study of
Ukrainian Heritage (PCUH) at St.
Thomas More College, University of
Saskatchewan, in association with
Mackenzie Art Gallery in Regina,
Kenderdine Art Gallery at the University
of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, and the
Ukrainian community will present a
series of cultural events devoted to the
artistic legacy of the renowned
Saskatchewan-based Canadian folk artist
of Ukrainian background Dmytro Stryjek.
According to Dr. Bohdan Kordan,
director of the PCUH, “uniquely positioned
as a ‘translational’ and ‘transnational’
figure, with one foot in the past
(Ukraine) and one in the present
(Canada), Stryjek (1899-1991) produced
highly original and highly acclaimed
art.”
Whether labeled as “folk art,” “outsider
art,” “art brut,” or naïve art, Mr.
Stryjek’s work speaks of the artist’s great
imagination and acute nostalgia, unique
talent and liberating artistic expressiveness.
Intensity of color and the fluidity of
imagery characterize Mr. Stryjek’s work,
and Makuch, have likewise tried to be
more visible at major Ukrainian community
events while pursuing speaking
engagements throughout Canada. Both
took part in the national conference of
the Ukrainian Canadian Professional and
Business Federation and the triennial
gathering of the Ukrainian Canadian
Congress, held in October 2001 in
Winnipeg.
In early November 2001 Mr. Makuch
made several presentations as a resource
person for the annual convention of the
Saskatchewan Teachers of Ukrainian in
Saskatoon. At the same time, Mr. Balan
took advantage of a trip to the West
Coast to give a talk to the Ukrainian
community of Victoria, British
Columbia, and on November 16-1, 2001,
attended a Youth Workshop organized by
the Saskatchewan UCC at St. Peter’s
Abbey in Muenster.
Meanwhile, preparations are well
under way for a UCP-sponsored conference
scheduled to take place at the
University of Alberta on April 11-13.
Titled “A Rock and a Hard Place:
Ukrainians in Canada from the Great War
to the Cold ,” the gathering is intended to
stimulate more research on Ukrainian
Canadian life from 1924 to 1947.
For more information about the
Ukrainian Canadian Program, contact
Mr. Balan at jbalan@ualberta.ca, or
Andrij Makuch at a.makuch@utoronto.ca
Correspondence may also be directed to
the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian
Studies, 4-50 Athabasca Hall, University
of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, T6G 2E8.
Prairie Center hosts exhibit
of folk artist Dmytro Stryjek
illuminating and bringing together
numerous worlds – the world of Ukraine,
of Canada, and the author’s imagined
lifeworld.
The series starts with a retrospective
of Mr. Stryjek’s works from the extensive
private collection of Peter Millard. The
exhibition will run from December 14
though February 10, 2002. The opening
reception was scheduled for Friday,
December 14, 2001.
The same exhibition will travel later to
Saskatoon and will be available for public
viewing in Kenderdine Art Gallery,
University of Saskatchewan, on February
22-April 7, 2002.
In conjunction with this exhibition, a
national symposium “Identity and Poetic
Vision: Dmytro Stryjek,” will convene at
the University of Saskatchewan on
February 22-23, 2002. Several specialists
in the areas of visual arts, psychology,
anthropology, Ukrainian Canadian folklore,
ethnicity and cultural studies are
invited to participate in the symposium to
examine the relationship between the art
and identity through the exploration of
the art of Dmytro Stryjek.
