In Kyiv, the unique mosaic panel "Boryviter", destroyed by the occupiers in Mariupol, has been restored. Ukrainian and foreign artists worked on the composition. This is reported by UNN with reference to the Mariupol City Council in Telegram.
Details
According to Yaroslava Gres, co-founder of Ukraine WOW, artists from all over the world spent three months assembling "Boryviter" in a hangar, repeating every smallest detail. All in order for the panel to be no different from the one waiting for restoration in occupied Mariupol.
The reproduction was initiated by the ROZETKА marketplace, the Ukraine WOW team, and the Alla Gorska and Viktor Zaretsky Foundation. "Boryviter" is currently on display in Kyiv on Independence Square. It will then be exhibited in Kharkiv, Lviv and European cities.
As part of the project, we also created a second copy of the mosaic, which was divided into 1250 fragments. We invite Ukrainians to become guardians of the mosaic in order to one day help restore "Boryviter" in free Ukrainian Mariupol
You can also purchase fragments of the mosaic - on the ROZETKA website, as well as in the store on Independence Square. All proceeds from the sale of mosaic fragments will be used to restore Alla Gorska's only Kyiv work "Wind" and organize a tour of "Boryviter" in Ukraine and the world.
Addition
The mosaic "Boryviter" was created in Mariupol in 1967 by the outstanding artist Alla Gorska. In 2022, it was significantly damaged by the Russian occupiers. Now 15 artists have restored the panel in Kyiv.
