During her lifetime, the artist painted her house with strange animals, angels and images created by her imagination. These assets are the intangible cultural heritage of Ukraine. Unfortunately, during the Russian military invasion, the occupiers blew up a nuclear hydroelectric plant, due to which more than 80 settlements were destroyed as a result of the disaster. Polina Raiko's house was also flooded and destroyed. At the moment, it is impossible to see the consequences, because the house is still located in the occupied territory.

12. October. For two years now, the world has experienced a real boom in the work of Ukrainian artist Maria Prymachenko: in May 2022, the artist's works became part of the main program of the Venice Biennale, and her work was written about by the world's leading media, from The Guardian to The Times. In Ukraine, proceeds from the sale of Maria Prymachenko's work by the Prytula Foundation brought half a million dollars for the Armed Forces. And in 2023, exhibitions of Prymachenko's works were held all over the world. But, unfortunately, tragic circumstances contributed to this wave of interest: a full-scale war in Ukraine and, in particular, the destruction by the Russian occupiers of the museum in Ivankovo, where part of the Mystkin heritage was kept (fortunately, the works were saved).

13. November. 3 master classes on illustrating children's fairy tales. We take the project "Tales of the Kherson region" as a basis. A large part of this region is still occupied by Russian troops, and the city of Kherson is subjected to numerous rocket attacks every day. Talking to children about the war through fairy tales is what we must do so that children understand the events taking place, do not forget their hometowns and homes, do not lose positive memories of Ukraine, and know the ways of recovery after the war. After all, in fairy tales, good always wins over evil.
We read fairy tales with the children, in Ukrainian and English, discuss, reveal the images of the main characters, create sketches for the main scenes of the fairy tales. The master class can be divided into several parts: 1. Watching a cartoon from sand animation, we try to repeat images from sand. 2. Illustrations, graphics and active reading. 3. Coloring ready-made illustrations for young children. The master class is designed for any age. Production time is 3 hours
