This event took place on October 27, 2024.
I just learned about an incredible cultural event through Dr. Tetyana Semigina, one of Ukraine’s leading social work researchers and educators. She shared a touching personal connection – the featured artist, Anastasiia, was her former social work student who has now blossomed into a remarkable musician and cultural activist.
This Sunday (Oct 27) at the historic Shevchenkivskiy Hai in Lviv, Anastasiia will present a unique concert-meeting that beautifully bridges social work, music, and collective memory. The centerpiece will be her video premiere “Soon I’ll Return” (Скоро я повернусь), featuring the words of Victoria Amelina. This powerful piece weaves together 22 stories of Ukrainian displacement – connecting current wartime experiences with historical WWII narratives that have often remained unspoken in Ukrainian families across generations.
I was moved to action and just purchased three “suspended tickets” (підвішені квитки) from Canada. These tickets will allow locals in Lviv to attend even if I can’t be there personally. Each ticket is just 350 UAH (approximately $13 CAD) – a small investment in keeping Ukrainian culture vibrant during these challenging times.
Here’s why this matters so much:
- Supports Ukrainian artists continuing their vital cultural work during wartime
- Documents and preserves crucial historical memories across generations
- Demonstrates how art and social work can intersect to heal communities
- Makes cultural events accessible to local community members
- Shows global solidarity with Ukrainian culture

Let’s fill this venue with support from around the world! Whether you’re in Lviv or thousands of kilometers away, you can play a part in keeping Ukrainian culture thriving. The goal is to sell out this concert at Shevchenkivskiy Hai – showing that even in wartime, art and community endure.
Please share this post to help spread the word. Every ticket purchased is a thread strengthening the fabric of Ukrainian cultural resilience. 🇺🇦
