Together with our Lithuanian brothers we are making a history!

Friends, this is a historic event!

Once again, together with our Lithuanian brothers we are making history!

In April 2022, they organized the screening of the film about Lithuanian Chornovol, Mr. Vytautas Landsbergis „Mr. Landsbergis”, who radically changed the history of the brave country of Lithuania! During the movie, I went into the ladies’ room several times to cry because the resemblance of the script was deep to my bones. That’s when I understood why Lithuanians are so empathetic to Ukraine! They survived this in the 90s! They, like no one, understand what we – Ukrainians are going through! All proceeds from that movie our friends donated to our fund and we bought the first SUV for our guys on the front lines!

And then history was created again:

In June 2022, there was another historic event – the screening of the film of Lithuanian director Mantas Kvedaravicius „Mariupolis”, which was held for support and in Ukrainian Culture Center – UCC. Mantas was killed during the shooting of the second part of the movie in Mariupol during a full-scale invasion of Muscovites! It was the first joint Lithuanian-Ukrainian event in California!

And now, our friends have created an incredible installation – TRIZUB, which was exhibited at the world-famous Burning Man festival and is now available by Stand With Ukraine Foundation i.e. in the Ukrainian community of LA.

Conveying the scale of gratitude to our Daiva Cekanauskas Navarrette and Eleonora Romuva is impossible!

We thank you for moving side-by-side with us to victory!

A low bow to you, friends!

Ukrainian Trident in the American desert. Where did he come from, where did he go and to what Lithuanians are?

At the world-renowned international independent art festival #BurningMan, traditionally held in the Black Rock desert for over 30 years, our best Lithuanian-American friends and brothers erected an impressive five-meter inst Alací Украї Trident in support of Ukraine. Mega Triangle total weight in 700 kg was a total of 75 parts as a constructor, a stílʹnikovim way. Camp #AmberDust2022 has become one of the festival’s most popular locations thanks to this unique venue! Maybe it’s not news for you for a long time, because the miracle of the iconic trident has been loudly announced by renowned world media and millionaire bloggers since the beginning of the festival, which fell on August 28 this year. But we, as people enigmatic and somewhat involved in this outstanding art action, can’t help but share with you exclusive photos and facts about the history of creation and the further fate of the legendary symbol of Liberty.

In the month of May this year, it came to us, the zapeklih activists of the stand with Ukraine LA movement, a request from our reliable partners of the Lithuanian-American business association in LA, in the person of a dear sister in spirit eleonora romuva / eleanora romuva, nadat and info about our coat of arms. Eleanor noted that her team was too interested in digging deeper into the roots of Ukrainian heraldry symbolism from reliable research sources and modestly informed that it was for an art project. For those who are suddenly unaware, we would like to inform you that one of the activities of Stand With Ukraine Foundation is cultural diplomacy. Don’t feed us bread, give only the world to tell about the beauty and power of Ukrainian national symbols! Thank God, Mrs. Eleanor turned nowhere else, but at the right address, exactly to us. We willingly provided the most interesting materials in English translation about our trident, having no idea for what a grand event. Later in one of the press interviews, Eleanor will report: „We chose the coat of arms of Ukraine, which emerged as a family symbol, a synthesis of divine elements of water, fire and solid in the manifested world.” Three dots, three worlds, and the Trinity are the fundamental worldview elements inherent in all cultures of the world. Now, the Ukrainian trident is a symbol of freedom, unity and the victory of light over darkness. A symbol of perseverance and determination, a symbol of the struggle for freedom and democracy. The wisdom, laid in the trident is universal! „

According to tradition, on the last day of the camps of the art metropolis, the sculptures of the Burning Man art city are burned as a gesture of non-attachment to the work. Our Trident has been tested by fire and sword for ages. „The fire of the burned does not burn! » the Ukrainian sacred symbol of freedom that has become the spiritual acquisition of the free civilized world is imperishable. Our Lithuanian friends made sure that the glorious Trident was respectfully delivered to the Stand With Ukraine Foundation volunteer headquarters, for which we are indescribably grateful to them, and on our part we are already making sure that this work of modern art is worthy of service lived the mission of rescue, support, strengthening and building Ukraine!
