Coming Home for Christmas

🎄🇺🇦 Ukraine House in Denmark invites Copenhagen residents and guests to experience the warmth and magic of a Ukrainian Christmas at our new exhibition “Coming Home for Christmas.”

Step into a festive world where living rituals, family traditions, and the craftsmanship of Ukrainian artisans and artists bring light, hope, and a sense of home — even in times of distance and hardship. For Ukrainians, Christmas is more than a date: it is family, renewal, and unity. This exhibition shares that spirit with Copenhagen.

Discover traditional festive clothing, ceramics, carpets, and ritual decorations, together with archival carol recordings, authentic Christmas recipes, and contemporary artworks that reinterpret folk crafts. Highlights include hand-woven carpets, Triytsia candleholders, and carved chests, as well as a special section on Sviata Vecheria — the twelve-dish Holy Supper curated by food culture researcher Olena Braichenko — all set within a magical soundscape of ancient and modern carols and shchedrivky.

The exhibition opens on November 29 at 17:00 at Ukraine House in Denmark, Gammel Dok, Strandgade 27B, Copenhagen. The opening event will feature a guided tour and a Christmas concert by Endangered Songs, a collective of young Ukrainian singers reviving carols from regions that have stood — and still stand — on the front line.

Sign up for the opening event on November 29 via the link in our bio.
