In this innovative and ambitious group show, twelve artists bring historic traditions of craft and folk art squarely into the 21st century. Melding ancient techniques with contemporary aesthetics, the exhibition participants cast a fresh light on each of the diverse mediums in which they operate, from textile design to ceramics to silver-smithing. Also, as the show's title suggests, the pieces in the exhibit reflects more than simply the intricate means of their production. Rather, they serve as a moving tribute to the potent mix of myth and memory that constitutes one's personal heritage.

Organized by the New York chapter of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America, and curated by noted artist Ilona Sochynsky, the exhibit opened with a reception and art sale. The event invitation was designed as a self-mailer that features a collage of exhibit images, event information, and an opening reception RSVP card.
