Join us for Today Is Our Tomorrow closing event combining live talks, presentations, films screenings and DJ sets. This year’s transdisciplinary festival was realised in collaboration with three Baltic organisations, The Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art, Narva Art Residency and NAC of Vilnius Academy of Arts, and included three new commissions: Unconditional Love by Agnė Jokšė, WEEDs FEED! by Sandra Kosorotova, and Oestrus Youth by Anni Puolakka and Marta Trektere.
First part of the evening will be dedicated to the context of Agnė Jokšė’s new work Unconditional Love with scholar Danutė Gailienė, Professor of Clinical Psychology and investigator of historical and cultural traumas, as well as curator and writer Monika Kalinauskatė, Agnė Jokšė herself and Egija Inzule, director of NAC.
