In Adelaide, thousands of people attended international music and arts festival WOMAD over the weekend. Among this year's attractions, the Ukrainian community created a café to share music, culture and food, and raise money for the Ukraine Crisis Appeal. It's also the culmination of an art therapy project for Ukrainians displaced by the war who have painted the cafe chairs with symbols of hope.A folk song speaks of tragedy and inspires hope.
They’re enjoying the atmosphere on opening night of WOMAD and Kobza Café - a haven for Ukrainian culture nestled under the fig trees in Adelaide’s leafy botanic park."We make a lot of preparations for this event. All these decorations, and Ukrainian music, and all this nice Ukrainian painting. We share our culture we share our love and raise money for Ukraine to end this horrible and brutal war."Bright colours, traditional Ukrainian designs and symbols of hope.
The Kaleenah berry, a traditional symbol of blood-shed in the fight for independence, has personal significance to Nataliia."The history of Ukraine is full of fighting and many Ukrainians die defending our independence, like in this recent terrible war, so many soldiers die. Even my son was killed one year ago so this is very important for us. From one side it is sad, but from other side it is very warmth to our hearts.
