About this title

Synopsis

Burden of Innocence is the project of a Canadian Ukrainian, the painter Natalka Husar, who has made a name for herself in her field in both Canada and abroad. Here Husar's visual work is presented with her own commentary on what she sees as the social ills and goods in contemporary Ukraine: the subject matter is post-Orange Revolution Ukraine and our continually shifting, always-problematic but utterly abiding relationship with our parents' homeland and the homeland of our imaginations. Burden of Innocence is a bridge between various worlds: Canada and Ukraine, painting and writing, and verbal and visual images.

About the Author

Born in the States in 1951, Natalka Husar completed a BFA at Rutgers University in 1973. She subsequently moved to Canada where she has lived ever since. She is an Associate Professor at the Ontario School of Art and Design. Husar visited Ukraine once in 1969, and then in 1992 and 1993 after Ukraine achieved independence. She travels frequently to the country of her parents' birth that also serves as the backdrop for much of her work, which explores notions of homeland and values in contemporary society. Iryna Pasichnyk is a graphic designer who has been working with Rodovid since 1992. She has many books to her name including works on Kateryna Bilokur, Borys Kosarev, and catalogs for the Ukrainian Museum in New York.
