On the occasion of the 32nd anniversary of Ukraine's Independence, students of the first (bachelor's) level of the Higher Education Program "Digital Art" (groups BCM1-23, BCMSK1-23, BDASK1-22) within the educational components "History of Visual Arts" and "Concept Art," under the guidance of Associate Professor and Candidate of Art History Daria Chemberzhi and Associate Professor Inga Yermak, participated in the art action "Born Free" and created their own designs of Ukraine's state symbols.

The Trident, also known as the "Small Coat of Arms," is one of the three state symbols, along with the flag and anthem, and has a millennium-long history. It has passed through the ages and become a globally recognized symbol of Unbreakable Spirit and Freedom. The Trident has become an inherited heraldic sign for the descendants of Prince Volodymyr the Great. On February 19, 1992, by the decision of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, it was approved as a state symbol. The modern Trident was developed by a group of Ukrainian heraldists, including Andrii Hrechylo, Oleksii Kokhan, and Ivan Turetskyi.

The new generation, born in independent Ukraine, has the opportunity to live a free and self-determined life, contributing to the country's further development through their knowledge, ideas, and contributions to various sectors of society.

Everything will be Ukraine, free, strong, independent! Together to victory!
