Taste of Inspiration is an exhibition bringing together 25 Ukrainian artists (living within Ukraine and across the diaspora) to present a collection of artwork created in support of a broader wellbeing project, Rising Swallow. Together, they celebrate the enduring hope of Ukrainian communities around the world and their cultural heritage.
In 2025, Lutruwita/Tasmanian-based Ukrainian artist, Anna Mykhalchuk and psychologist, Yuliia Hubarieva joined forces to create a tool to support mental health and wellbeing. In collaboration, they developed Rising Swallow: a unique deck of cards, each offering a mindfulness activity drawing on both art and psychology to encourage emotional expression, reduce stress and support resilience.
Each card features the artwork of a different Ukrainian artist, using decorative Samchykivka designs – a form of folk art originating from the village of Samchyky in Ukraine. This exhibition presents large-scale versions of the artworks, offering a deeper insight into the creative process and the many ways art can support connection, healing and self-awareness.
Entry to the galleries is free.
