As you look closely the small print reads “Music from the deepest layers of the Ukrainian tradition.” You see, you need to dig deeply to find the fragments of a culture, its folk poetry, its essence. 448 Hargrave Street in Winnipeg, the former Clark Bros. and Co. Warehouse, once home to wholesale paper dealers, printers, and engravers, has now become a canvas for the layers of time. Here a blind bard, a folk hero, tells the stories and sings the songs of the past, as a promise is made to would be immigrants of a rich and fertile future. Today, a poppy bleeds for a people, still hungry for self-determination. This expression is underscored by a message of hope for tomorrow, that revolutions need not result in bloodshed but rather can be an outpouring of ideas and creativity.
