“Colorful Vyshyvanka” exhibition
The richness of Ukrainian embroidery, its history and meanings embroidered with threads on canvas have always fascinated us. And, of course, we are fond of books about traditional Ukrainian embroidery, because they allow us to see rare patterns and unique techniques.
Especially for the World Vyshyvanka Day, we have gathered together the most interesting and colorful books about Ukrainian embroidery from the collections of the National Historical Library of Ukraine, the Yaroslav the Wise National Library of Ukraine, the Lesya Ukrainka Public Library, the Scientific and Technical Library of the National Aviation University, and, of course, the KPI Library.
Hurry up to visit our exhibition!

Reading together
On 25 March, the European Authors’ Day will be held for the second time – and, of course, we could not stay away. The KPI Library joins this initiative, which unites 40 countries participating in the Creative Europe programme.
And we decided to start (we are sure that there will be many more Days of European Authors) by reading a book by a definitely European – and, more importantly, also Ukrainian – author, Andriy Lyubka. We chose a book that fits our format perfectly – a collection of short stories called “Саудаде”. And now we are waiting for you – come to give voice to these stories and become part of a large international initiative.
To visit the Library, you need to have a student card, pass or passport.

Лекція «Чорні діри» від гуртка «Дослідження Всесвіту»
Друзі, запрошуємо на науково-популярну лекцію «Чорні діри» від гуртка «Дослідження Всесвіту»!
Чорні діри — це магічні об’єкти всесвіту, величезні ворота часу і простору.
Зібравши велику масу в одній точці, вони стискають світло і все навколо в себе, створюючи таємничі лабіринти гравітації. Ці космічні поети запрошують нас в подорож у нескінченність, викликаючи захоплення своєю величчю та загадковістю. Астрономія розкриває їхні таємниці, вивчаючи вплив чорних дір на структуру всесвіту.
Це світлові завіси темряви розкривають перед нами велич і витонченість природи, допомагаючи злитися фізиці та фантазії в захопливому танці, де чорні діри — втілення загадковості і неймовірного впливу на простір і час.

XR-exhibition “The Real Reasons for the War, or How Russian Propaganda Works”
XR-exhibition “The Real Reasons for the War, or How Russian Propaganda Works” will be held at the KPI Library on November 2
This unique and innovative exhibition is designed specifically to counter Russian propaganda, to raise awareness and media literacy in society.
The exhibition combines the familiar poster format with the latest technologies. Thanks to the edAR app, all the benefits of 3D, AR, and VR experiences can be accessed without special equipment.
When a smartphone is pointed at a poster, the edAR mobile app activates and brings the posters to life. The viewer will see 3D models, audio, video, and VR portals that encourage in-depth research, immersion in the topic, and better memorization of data and facts.
Unique posters of the exhibition were created using artificial intelligence by analyzing a large amount of data on a given topic.
XR-exhibition explains in detail how the Russian propaganda system is structured, debunks well-known fakes and manipulations that have been working against Ukraine for years, and most importantly, shows where it can lead to on the examples of war.
This new tool for countering propaganda with XR technology will be presented to 5000 schools and public institutions in Ukraine and 20 other countries.
The KPI Library has joined the national marathon of countering propaganda and invites you to visit the exhibition on November 2.
The edAR app, which makes AR technologies accessible to educators and civil society activists, was developed by the European Chornobyl Institute in partnership with the NotaEnota initiative as part of the EU Urgent Support for Civil Society project implemented by ISAR Ednannia with the financial support of the European Union.
