During the Euromaidan Revolution in 2013-2014, there was an interesting movement in Ukraine. As mass antigovernment protests took place, activists painted construction helmets to protect their heads from the Berkut riot police. Helmets were decorated and the decorations ranged from religous icons to nationalist slogans to petrykivka art. Viktoriya Popovych, U of A Master’s student, will talk about this movement while you paint your own helmet. All materials provided.
