We are finally presenting our publication, “The Folk Calendar of Bohuslavshchyna”, in Bohuslav!
The book was written by participants of expeditions throughout Bohuslavshchyna: folklorist Olena Chebaniuk and historian Oksana Humeniuk, with artistic design by Oleksandra Fedoryshyna.
The publication is dedicated to the calendar traditions of Bohuslavshchyna (Kyiv region), highlighting their local characteristics, unique ritual practices, and folklore. It includes materials from our historical and ethnographic expeditions and archives. You will also find a questionnaire designed for recording stories, memories, and folklore or ethnological material, as well as samples of local clothing from museum collections and private collectors.
Additionally, the publication features information about the local project “The Life of Ukrainians: The Folk Calendar of Bohuslavshchyna”, focusing on the key components of its implementation. Since the project serves as an example of successful research and promotion of traditional culture, its experience can be applied in planning similar projects in small communities across Ukraine and beyond.
By the way, you are welcome to view the publication online.
