The aims of the organization are to be involved in the urgent issues through producing events for the community engagement alongside doing the critical research and writing. Specifically Vsi Bendri Reikalai produces various events where young members of the society participate in discussions, publications, events, commissions and performances.
In the last year Vsi "Bendri Reikalai" received 3 project grants for various projects, ranging from the artist's video portraits to the interdisciplinary para-academic networking project in Baltics and Scandinavia.
One of the most recent projects was a series of events between Lithuania, United Kingdom and Russia. It culminated in a one month exhibition, 2 workshops and 2 lectures in Saint Petersburg during June 2014 and July at TAGA Creative Space in St.Petersburg involving local art students and volunteers. This particular project analyzed how political subjectivity is formed in relation to the digital media. One of the research and publication phases of the project was the involvement of 8 young writers and artists to contribute to the on-line publication Another Victory Over The Sun and also a workshop that is trying to rewrite the futurist opera for young participants and students from Saint Petersburg. The project was partly supported by the Nordic Culture Point and Lithuanian Embassy in Russia.
Another project is the video-portraits production about the youngest generation of writers in Lithuania. This project brings together certain political and cultural journalists and aspiring young people who are interested in the theme of the 'concentration' in the everyday and what it means in respect to the broader needs of the society. In addition, Vsi 'Bendri Reikalai' is producing a video interview website about Lithuanian emigre artists living in UK, focussing on the diaspora in cultural field.
We can offer local and international curatorial and artistic and media network, local support for the project communication and scope, critical evaluations on the project ideas and consultations about the needs of the local identity politics.
We would like to be more involved with the Medditeranean issues and also collaborate with Medditerranean region's art and cultural and community engagement institutions.
