Exhibition “Messages from the Sky” by Morta Jonynaitė

On 4 September at 18:00, Morta Jonynaitė’s exhibition “Messages from the Sky” opens at Panerių St 38 in Vilnius.

It is an exhibition of woven conversations and textile forms of address, in which the artist reflects on intimate and time-consuming processes of communication. Like an attentive anthropologist, Jonynaitė gathers the memories of those close to her and fragments of stories heard from afar, keeping certain shared, archaic experiences from slipping into oblivion: the desire to be together and to understand one another. Translating these narratives into sculptural and textile objects and installations, the artist explores attempts at communication across different generations, ideological regimes, linguistic registers and time zones; between presence and absence, earth and sky.
