The Borderland is happy to have hosted Marianna Dolynska who took part in the session organised within the Sejny Academy of Arts programme.

Marianna Dolynska has been living in Sejny for three years and has been working together with the Borderland on several occasions. Marianna began the meeting sharing her story about her personal experience of exile, about what people talk about in Kiyv, Lviv, Suma and Ivano-Frankivsk.

In the workshop section Marianna taught the participants to use ropes and threads to make bird-amulets and traditional Ukrainian braids which can be put on our door and chase away all the evil that we can think of.
