We are sad to inform that on Monday, 25 October, the KAUNAS PHOTO exhibition at Draugystės Park, featuring works by Lithuanian photographer Elena Krukonytė from the series “Portrait of Early Generation Z”, was vandalized.
As the structures are badly damaged, it has been decided to close the exhibition, which shortens the exhibition time by a week.
On September 10, 2021, the opening of the 18th KAUNAS PHOTO festival’s outdoor exhibition “Portrait of Early Generation Z” by Elena Krukonytė (Lithuania) took place at the Draugystės park in presence of the author. The opening followed by the artist talk “The relationship with time, the environment, and self through photography” by Elena Krukonytė at the Kaunas Municipal Vincas Kudirka Public Library’s Park Branch.
