The Museum of Kyiv History, together with the artist Tetiana Kuzmych (Kashuba), present the unique exhibition project **“Red Means Love”**, whose aim is to showcase not only the richness of Ukrainian culture, but also to become a symbol of the resilience of our nation in times of war.

Tetiana is an artist and a bearer of Ukrainian color, who knows how to unite tradition with modernity. Her exhibitions are visual journeys across Ukraine: from paper cut-outs to portraits, from ethnic style to contemporary symbolism. She sees emotions, stories, and the depth of our identity in colors.

The central and signature work of the exhibition will be a unique red paper cut-out up to 10 meters long, which the artist plans to register in the Guinness World Records as the largest paper cut-out in the world. It is created in the style of traditional Ukrainian embroidery with authentic ornaments combined with a contemporary author’s vision — as a symbol of a powerful connection with ancestors. The entire composition is executed in shades of red, a color often used by folk masters to create protective talismans.

“My mission is to preserve and reinterpret Ukrainian cultural traditions through contemporary art. For me, paper cutting is the ancient craft of our ancestors that, in an incredible way, transforms paper into visual magic. Throughout the entire process of cutting, I lived through a special story. My own. Ours. It felt like a prayer made with my hands — as if I were cutting out different states, feelings, and emotions: pain and joy, despair and hope,” notes artist Tetiana Kuzmych (Kashuba).
