Festival Feature: Cocoshnick in Australia
As part of the Folk Pancake Festival Maslenitsa SA 2026 program, we present curated Festival Features that bring living traditions, craftsmanship, and cultural knowledge into the heart of the celebration.
Cocoshnick in Australia is a cultural project dedicated to the preservation and presentation of the traditional kokoshnik- an iconic element of Russian folk costume.
Led by Tamara Barrass (Melbourne, Victoria), the project showcases hand-crafted kokoshniks, historical silhouettes, and costume traditions through exhibitions and live presentation.
This Festival Feature offers visitors a closer look at the artistry, symbolism, and cultural meaning behind these remarkable pieces.
