Living Echo of the Cossack Elite: Georgiy Narbut in Paraska Apostol’s Kontusz with Kelep and Colonel MiloradovychIn the photograph, Georgiy Narbut stands in the Cossack hall of the Tarnovsky Museum (now a room of the Chernihiv Regional Library for Youth), fully immersed in a historical Ukrainian image. He is dressed in the kontusz of Paraska Apostol, daughter of Hetman Danylo Apostol, holding a kelep in his right hand, while to his right stands Colonel Mykhailo “Cannon” Miloradovych. This staged yet documentary scene shows Narbut not just studying Cossack-era artifacts, but literally wearing them, turning himself into a living embodiment of the Ukrainian noble-Cossack past.

Block 37 Proposal, Chicago, Illinois, PerspectiveBlock 37, the parcel of land in the heart of Chicago’s Loop bordered by State, Randolph, Dearborn, and Washington Streets has stood idle for years in spite of numerous ideas for the construction of new buildings. The redevelopment of the block was originally conceived by Mayor Richard J. Daley in the 1970s to transform the site of old, inferior, low-rise buildings into new and larger buildings with more intensive uses in keeping with the downtown area. The site has been the object of several unsuccessful attempts at development over the years. Architect Helmut Jahn, working for the joint venture development company FJV, prepared several schemes for the site between 1983 and 1987. All of these plans envisioned a giant atrium that would permit continuous movement of pedestrians throughout the block. The developers’ failure to secure a anchor tenant for the development—along with delays by the City and the worsening economic situation—cast doom on the project.

Zino Davidoff, a renowned Ukrainian-Swiss tobacconist and the founder of the Davidoff luxury brandThe photograph shows him standing in front of his cigar shop in Geneva, Switzerland. Zino Davidoff's father, Henri Davidoff, a tobacco merchant, opened a tobacco shop in Geneva in 1911 after the family fled Ukraine. Zino later took over the business and was instrumental in its growth. He is credited with several innovations in the cigar industry, including the invention of the desktop humidor. During World War II, he famously acquired the cigar stock from Paris to protect it from the invading forces, which cemented his reputation as a key figure in the European tobacco trade. The Davidoff brand, now owned by Oettinger Davidoff AG, has expanded beyond cigars to include a range of luxury products such as fragrances, leather goods, and accessories.

Band New Order performing live in New York in 1981 at the Ukrainian National HomeA New Beginning: This performance was part of New Order’s first U.S. tour, staged a little over a year after Joy Division singer Ian Curtis’s death. It marked a crucial step in the band’s transition and the beginning of their effort to define an identity separate from their previous group. Musical Evolution: On this tour, New Order moved beyond Joy Division’s post‑punk austerity, embracing synthesizers and propulsive rhythms. In New York they unveiled an early, unreleased ten‑minute version of Temptation, drawing rave reviews and cementing their reputation at the forefront of post‑punk. Video Recording: The show—performed in 1981 in New York City—was filmed by Michael Shamberg and later released on VHS as Taras Shevchenko, capturing the band in a raw, transitional phase and becoming a vital document of their early career. The Ukrainian National Home’s name—and the portrait of poet Taras Shevchenko hanging behind the stage—were prominently displayed, underscoring the venue’s cultural co

Two models in Sonia Delaunay's boulevard Malesherbes studioThe photograph depicts two models wearing designs by artist and designer Sonia Delaunay. The outfits are described as beachwear, swimwear, or clothing with geometric patterns. One model holds an umbrella, also designed by Delaunay. The designs are part of the "Simultaneous" line, which reflects Delaunay's artistic theory of using bold, contrasting colors and geometric shapes to create movement and harmony. The clothing was created to suit the real lives of women, allowing for freedom of movement.
