Lithuania Pavilion

The Lithuanian Pavilion Without Walls is co-organized by Performa, the Lithuanian Culture Institute, and Consulate General of the Republic of Lithuania in New York, with generous support from the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania, among others. It is also generously supported by Lithuania Foundation. Together, the partners will commission and present new works by contemporary Lithuanian artists Lina Lapelytė and Pakui Hardware, as well as Performa Projects by Raimundas Malašauskas, Robert Narkus, and Augustas Serapinas. Additionally, Kira Nova will participate in a special series titled Feel Me, Hear Me – Echoes from the Metropole presented by Performa and Extra Extra, Rotterdam.

Initiated in 2013, the Pavilion Without Walls program reflects Performa’s commitment to presenting the social, political, and artistic landscapes of different countries through live performance. Over the last decade, this curatorial platform has brought voices from Australia, Estonia, Norway, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, Finland, and Taiwan to New York audiences. Each Pavilion is developed over a two-year research period in close collaboration with cultural institutions, curators, artists, and educators from the featured country to create a dynamic and deeply contextual program.
