Finally, summer! Windows closed, curtains closed, hiding in the darkest corner of my room to preserve the last bits of sanity. Trying to cool down in this heat seems to be as efficient as explaining to people that being skinny is not always a choice. As being not skinny is not always a choice either.

“Sharon's anxiety is interesting because we feel it. We imagine knowing what she was afraid of - as if we know the ending when we watch a film, but we enjoy watching it and move on. This saves us from the terrible burden of freedom, which is an existential horror.”

Finally, reopening!
Yes, at the beginning of this month, we too were allowed to open our doors again, just in time to have at least a soft opening of our collaborative group show Shame Shouldn't Be A Symptom.

Just after the infamous traditional family march, which took place a couple of weeks ago and during the hopeful excitement of passing a gender-neutral partnership law, artist Živilė Žvėrūna talks about how art reveals the morality of our society.
“My personal goal as an artist is to add another perspective to the discussion.
