The organizers of the event in their comments to Ukrinform shared, how such events affect the perception of the country in the world.
"It is very important to promote Ukraine through such positive cultural diplomacy events," said Iryna Mazur, co-organizer of the event, Honorary Consul of Ukraine in Philadelphia.
She emphasized that positive visual images leave a deep mark in the memory of foreigners, reminding them of the beauty and identity of Ukraine. And that when Americans see quality products and art, it is remembered and remains a positive memory of Ukraine.
Mazur also noted that the exhibition in Washington demonstrated the richness and originality of Ukrainian culture.
"Today's event underscored that even in times of war, Ukrainians create and remain creative and look forward to the future," the Ambassador concluded.
The designer of the collection, Roksolana Bogutska, also said that each of her works is dedicated to Ukraine, its people and art. And the devotion of the Ukrainian people is the main source of her inspiration.
"I was inspired by our people, those unbreakable Ukrainians who never stopped believing in Ukraine, who spend all their time fighting the enemy," Bogutska said.
