About DIALOGUE OF GENERATIONS (1963-2013)

 

The exhibition features the work of three different generations of photographers: A.Sutkus, Kunčius, A.Macijauskas, R.Rakauskas, R.Požerskis, V.Luckus, A.Šeškus, A.Valiauga, G.Česonis, M.Kavaliauskas, M.Ažušilis and D.Stankevičius.

 

This diverse set of images - viewed individually or as a whole - portray the personal, the meaningful, the noteworthy but often also the unremarkable and the common.
Everyday Life presents us with a rare opportunity to reflect upon Lithuanian society both as observers looking in and through the eyes of its own artists.

On the occasion of the Restoration of the State of Lithuania, Tumo was proud to have partnered with the Embassy of Lithuania and Ambassador Erikas Petrikas on two exciting events - the opening of an evocative photography exhibition titled "Everyday Life: Dialogue of Generations" and a unique musical performance by Mr. Regimantas Silinskas and Tumo's music students.

Ambassador Erikas Petrikas and Tumo Director Marie Lou Papazian opened the event with welcoming remarks. Guests had the opportunity to view the photography exhibition, which examines Lithuanian everyday life spanning the last half-century and features the work of three different generations of Lithuanian photographers. The crowd was thrilled by a musical performance by Tumo's music students in collaboration with Lithuanian musician Regimantas Šilinskas on the Skrabalai, a traditional Lithuanian musical instrument made of dozens of wooden bells.

The event was also attended by United States Ambassador John Heffern, the Ambassador of the Republic of India Dr. T. Suresh Babu, and other high-ranking diplomats.
