Vytinanka added to the list of historical and cultural values of Belarus

The Belarusian art of vytinanka received the status of an intangible historical and cultural value of Belarus. Vytinanka is the art of cutting lace patterns from white and colored paper, which has reached a high artistic level. It spread in the folk life of Belarusians in the middle of the 19th century as a way of decorating the interior of a traditional dwelling and was restored as a form of decorative and applied art at the end of the 20th century. The modern vytinanka has become a real art, while continuing the traditions of our ancestors. Since the beginning of 2021, about 100 masters have been the bearers of the Belarusian art of vytinanka in Belarus.
