Sofiya - Global Grooves

Our beautiful Ukrainian puppet was made with love. Designed by our lead artist Mel Roberts as she worked alongside local Ukrainian artists, AUGB and Dorset Ukrainian Community CIC. She premiered at the Arts by The Sea festival in 2022 and will bring love, light and friendship to any event. Slava Ukraini!
