22 OUR LIFE • September-October 2025 Celebrating the UNWLA’s Centennial at the Museum of Ukrainian Diaspora in Kyiv Planning an exhibition in Kyiv for the UNWLA’s 100th anniversary actually be- gan three years ago. Why we decided to collaborate on this anniversary with Kyiv is interesting. The UNWLA is an Ameri - can organization. Of course, we are tied to our Ukrainian ancestry and heritage. But why is our story being told in Kyiv as part of our centennial celebration? Ser - endipity plays into the story. In June 2021, before the war start - ed, UNWLA president Natalie Pawlenko asked me to contact Oksana Pidsucha, the director of the Museum of Ukrain - ian Diaspora in Kyiv, regarding their possible cooperation on a Kateryna Krychevska-Rosandich exhibition being planned by our Ukrainian Museum in New York. Pani Oksana was very famil - iar with the famous Krychevsky dynasty and had met with members of the fam- ily. In our telephone conversation, she assured me that she would be willing to send several paintings from their Kyiv collection to our museum in NYC. To my surprise, pani Oksana changed the subject abruptly to what seemed very important to her, our upcoming 100th jubilee. Knowing our organiza- tion and its importance in supporting Ukraine throughout its painful history, she proposed a cooperative exhibit be- tween the Museum of Ukrainian Diaspo - ra and the UNWLA. Her years of contact with the Ukrainian diaspora provid - ed the information that was lacking in Ukraine. She was concerned about the lack of knowledge of the UNWLA’s role in Ukraine’s history by most Kyivans and by Ukrainians in general. She wanted to correct that with her vision of an exhibi - tion for the 100th anniversary. Pani Oksana excitedly elaborated on how she envisioned the exhibition. She would provide several rooms, both for archival materials and for the Oksana Piaseckyj , UNWLA National Culture Chair
