Anna Gorozhenko talks about her exhibition in York featuring period costumes made by Ukrainian historians and reconstruction experts, the exhibition will examine what 18th century York residents might have made of the Cossack state called ‘Hetmanat’ which is now modern day Ukraine – as well as how the Coassack region looked to the west for inspiration of culture.
Anna is a journalist and author of historical novels who moved to York with her daughter last year after fleeing the war in Ukraine. She’s also created a historical documentary called History in Style about life in Kyiv in 1730-1750 telling the stories of real characters who lived in the Kyiv region, made with historians, museum workers and volunteer actors from Ukraine.
