2 0 9 0 | Open Call

The industrial peak of the Soviet era it Lentvaris town, has been snoozing for a long time. The local news in the region are not yet able to develop any fresh concepts of identity.
We are aiming to discuss the future scenarios.
Artists, researchers, institutions, open / closed communities, collectives are invited to find a dialogue with the local structures or systems: political, economic, socio-cultural or ecological.

Lokomotif” is a curatorial duo (Milda Dainovskytė and Laurynas Skeisgiela), currently operating in the city of Lentvaris. Organising exhibitions, residencies and art education for the local youth community is a meeting-based practice, which allows “Lokomotif” to connect contemporary art practices with strategies for shaping urban identities and questions the objectives of regional culture policies and their implementation in a specific locale.
