Sonia Delaunay (Sara Stern) je dizajnérka, ktorej tvorba definovala popredné trendy vo vývoji európskej módy medzi dvoma svetovými vojnami. Narodila sa a detstvo prežila v Odese na Ukrajine. Počas prednášky sa porozprávame o ukrajinských koreňoch v tvorbe umelkyne a histórii jej celosvetového úspechu. Pokúsime sa vystopovať cestu Sonie Delaunayovej od fascinácie impresionizmom až po založenie nového smeru abstraktného umenia. Hlavným zameraním prednášky je zistiť vzťah medzi abstrakciami Sonie Delaunayovej a ukrajinskými umeleckými tradíciami.
