Paska Workshop Documentation Project was a project by Natalie Kononenko that aimed to document a workshop conducted by Nadia Cyncar, a community leader, at the Ukrainian Catholic Parish of St. George. Attendees learned about Easter traditions, as well as how to bake paska (Easter bread), how to decorate it, symbolism of decorations, etc.
The cooking was done by Joyce Sirski-Howell. The collection consists of a video recording (raw footage), audio recording and photographs of the workshop. The team who documented the event consisted of: Natalie Kononenko, Maryna Hrymych, Svitlana Kukharenko, Maryna Chernyavska and Peter Holloway.
