Mohyla Lecture | Folk the Future: Reimagining Ukraine’s Usable Pasts through New Interpretations of Old Songs
The Ukrainian Museum of Canada is proud to host the 2026 Mohyla Lecture, organized and presented by the Prairie Centre for the Study of Ukrainian Heritage at St. Thomas More College, University of Saskatchewan.
Featuring Maria Sonevytsky, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Music at Bard College, this talk explores how folk songs—often seen as remnants of the past—are being reimagined in the present as powerful tools for cultural expression and renewal. In the context of Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine, questions of history have taken on urgent new meaning.
