This scarf was created for the 130th birthday of the Ukrainian avant-garde futurist poet Mykhayl Semenko, who was repressed by the Soviet authorities in 1937. Mykhailo Semenko is considered to be one of the lead figures of the Executed Renaissance. The scarf features a verse from his poem “Patagonia”, that reads: “I will not die of death, I will die of life.”
