December 4, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> UNESCO has added vycinanka, the Belarusian art of papercutting, to the list of intangible cultural heritage at a session in Paraguay today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian foreign ministry has welcomed the decision by saying that the art, which originated in the 16th century, is experiencing a revival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The art of vycinanka is actively used in the exterior and interior decoration of private homes and public places, such as offices, restaurants, cultural institutions and theater sets. It is also an integral part of our traditional holidays,” the ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It called vycinanka “one of the aesthetic foundations of the Belarusian mentality and culture.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foreign ministry noted that the UNESCO cultural heritage list now includes six Belarusian items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 The rite of the Kalady Tsars (2009)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 Celebrations in honor of the Budsla\u016d icon of Our Lady (2018)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 The spring rite of Jura\u016dski Karahod (2019)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 Tree beekeeping culture (2020)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 Straw weaving art, craft and skills (2022)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
