In the German city of Karlsruhe, a sister city of Vinnytsia, a flash mob will create an embroidered mural on the wall of the library of the Ukrainian Cultural Center. This was reported by the Vinnytsia City Council.
“The German-Ukrainian Society “Ukrainians in Karlsruhe” is organizing a flash mob at the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Karlsruhe to celebrate Vyshyvanka Day in 2024. As part of the event, a vyshyvanka mural will be created on the wall of the Ukrainian Cultural Center’s library, symbolizing unity and cultural diversity,” the statement said.
As noted, each participant in the flash mob will have the opportunity to paint one square of the mural in red or black for a symbolic contribution to create a large ornament together. This project will not only unite Ukrainians and friends of Ukraine in Karlsruhe, Germany. Still, it will also strengthen the connection with the Motherland, thanks to the support of the community of Karlsruhe’s sister city Vinnytsia.
All funds raised during the flash mob will be used for humanitarian projects of the Ukrainians in Karlsruhe community to support fellow countrymen in Ukraine.
The description of the mural will indicate the names or nicknames of everyone who joins the initiative and wants to be inscribed in the history of cooperation between the communities of Vinnytsia and Karlsruhe.
It is noted that this event is part of the mission of preserving and popularizing Ukrainian culture and heritage among the Ukrainian diaspora, deepening intercultural ties between Ukraine and Germany.
