IDENTITY & EDITORIAL DESIGN 2023

The 14th Kaunas Biennial Long-distance Friendships invites "visitors to engage with stories of transnational solidarity, resistance and resilience, from post-socialist and post-colonial world where microhistories of friendships and encounters become a starting point for contemporary alliances. [...]

This project attempts to connect histories of the relationship between Africa and Eastern Europe that are linked more closely than many are aware of. Our choice of the venues for each event is not a coincidence. [...] The histories of each space echo that of the people who inhabited them. By drawing on these personal histories, we are using traces of times past to invite artists to propose alternative perspectives for the future. In a time of geopolitical fragmentation, it is important to strive for international alliances that are forged through friendship and collaboration rather than power dynamics." [Co-curators, Alicia Knock & Inga Lāce]
