Ukrainian art on display at Somerset County Administration Building

SOMERVILLE — Two reveals on loan from the Ukrainian History and Education Centre are on screen at the Somerset County Administration Developing on Grove Road.

A person of the exhibits is a linocut series depicting the starvation experienced by the Ukrainian individuals as political punishment by Soviet Union Dictator Joseph Stalin.

The other exhibit is a screen of pysanky eggs, usually built throughout Easter or the weeks major up to Easter.

The two reveals present the tragedy of Ukrainian background and the perseverance to endure the oppression, said Somerset County Board of Commissioners Deputy Director Melonie Marano.

“It is transferring, educating and very pertinent for what is happening in the Ukraine proper now,” Marano said. “And the other show of pysanky eggs presents us hope due to the fact they symbolize the enduring culture and traditions of Ukraine that have been handed down by means of the hundreds of years.”

The county commissioners selected the block of the county administration building as “Freedom Sq.” when Russia invaded Ukraine this year.

“What’s been happening in the Ukraine is devastating and heartbreaking. It is a senseless war. And it would make us remember another time in background, virtually a hundred decades back, when Stalin punished the Ukrainian persons in the early 1930’s, resulting in hundreds of thousands dying from starvation,” Morano claimed.
