The ethnographic camp in Pietrykaŭ district

The ethnographic camp for youth took place in Pietrykaŭ district (Homiel region) in August. Participants provided field research in 15 villages of the district, made photo, video and audio fixation of different elements of traditional culture of the region. There are not so many traditional songs preserved, but description of fests can still be written down. 80-years-old women tell about their wedding with all the traditional attributes. Some pieces of traditional textile were photographed. Old photos show us many interesting details.
