# Event Details - **Event Name**: INVENTED FOLKSONGS: Album Release + Exhibit | Second Gathering - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 09:30 pm - **Event Description**: After a sold-out opening, Invented Folksongs returns for a second gathering—an intimate evening of music, poetry and visual art.About this EventStep into Invented Folksongs, an album and visual art exhibit that brings Ukrainian folk traditions into conversation with contemporary music and visual art. Composer and vocalist Anna Pidgorna guides audiences through her creative journey in an intimate atmosphere, surrounded by an exhibit curated by Roksolana Uhryniuk.The Highbrow is a very intimate venue with only 33 seats, so reserve your spot early.THE MUSICIn "Invented Folksongs" Pidgorna draws on poetic imagery and musical gestures from Ukrainian folk to create original songs exploring sexuality, gender roles, gendered violence, and female joy. Desribed by reviewers as "freak", "gothic", "freewheeling" and "feral", the album fuses the raw energy of village playing with classical music techniques to create something entirely unclassifiable.THE ARTCurated by Roksolana Uhryniuk, the exhibit features illustrations by Olha Kriuchkovska, created especially for this album, along with her earlier graphic drawings. Like the music, Kriuchkovska's work explores traditional Ukrainian symbols within a contemporary interpretation of ink and pencil drawings. Kriuchkovska's stylized graphics are contrasted by Roksolana Uhryniuk's hyper realistic pencil drawings exploring images of traditional Ukrainian femininity.THE LOCATIONThe Highbrow is a bespoke salon space in a late-19th century home, combining heritage West Coast architectural elements with contemporary industrial design aesthetics, vintage mid-century modern elements and mosaic inspired by traditional Ukrainian embroidery.YOUR DONATIONSPickle Underground is a scrappy little non-profit organization with no operating budget.
