About the organization:
Founded in Kherson in 1999, the NGO Center for Cultural Development “Totem” has been documenting the life and artworks of Ukrainian naïve artist Polina Raiko since 2002, and since 2004 it has been taking care of her artistic heritage.
Due to the efforts of the institution, in 2005 the catalog “The Way to Paradise” was published, which is now the main source of information about Raiko's artistic practice for researchers and curators.
