THE STAR IS RISING
The Christmas star is a traditional symbol of the jolliest winter holiday. Carolers have been using it to bring Christmas joy to homes since the 17th century. Octagonal stars are widespread in all regions of Ukraine and are depicted on embroidered shirts, furniture and tablecloths.
These are authentic eight-pointed Christmas stars. They were created in collaboration with Ukrainian artist Tetiana Fedosenko specifically for The Star is Rising interactive Christmas exhibition at Kyiv Central Railway Station.
You can win one of ten stars by donating towards the construction of shelters in Ukrainian schools. Doing so will return learning opportunities to children – one of the most important Christmas presents of all.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
To bring 2283 students back to school, the fundraising campaign was launched to build shelters in three Ukrainian schools — Lyceum “Perspective” in Dnipropetrovsk Region, Bolgra Lyceum #2 and Tatarbunar Lyceum in Odesa Region.
OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE UAH 10,300,000 TO EQUIP SAFE AND COMFORTABLE SHELTERS FOR CHILDREN
MAY THE CHRISTMAS STAR SHINE IN YOUR HOME!
Specifically for the Christmas exhibition, The Star is Rising, Gres Todorchuk cooperated with The Ivan Honchar Museum National Centre of Folk Culture and artist Tetiana Fedosenko. They created traditional stars with colorful artwork.
