Seimas presents mosaic of tapestry “Lithuania – my face” by textile artist Agnietė Janušaitė-Vitkūnienė
November 19 d.on friday 1 p.m. An exhibition will be opened in the exhibition gallery of the Seimas III building, where the project “Textile Mosaic: Lithuania – My Face” by textile artist Agnietė Janušaitė-Vitkūnienė will be presented. The project was carried out in the textile studio “Gijų sodai” of Kaunas Culture Center, it is intended to commemorate the centenary of Lithuanian statehood. During the implementation of the project, everyone could participate and thus create a common work of art. That was the idea of the project. Each participant was invited to express their feelings and thoughts to Lithuania for a small work of the expected size, which in the final stage became part of one large textile work. The work-mosaic consists of many colored squares, in a general context, speaking in color signs and symbols as a whole. In the overall great textile work, the works of all the participants were composed according to color and formed the outline of a tree, which is also very symbolic.
The project, which is ongoing, continues to invite you to get acquainted with the weaving technique of classical tapestry and the largest tapestry “Lithuania – My Face”. Acquaintance also takes place through interpretation. Graphic artist Aurėja Jucevičiūtė contributed to the project, turning some details of the mosaic into extremely Lithuanian symbols-interpretations, which have their own meaning and affairs, introducing symbolic motifs of the cross and the sun.
Together with the tapestry, the exhibition features photographs and their collages illustrating the creative workshops of the projects.
In 2020, the exhibition was exhibited for the first time at Kaunas Culture Center.
The exhibition will be exhibited in the Seimas from November 19 to December 3 on the initiative of Seimas member Andrius Kupčinskas.
