On Sunday evening, the windows of the former Kaunas Central Post Office building drew residents\u2019 attention as they flashed orange. According to the National Institute of Architecture, which will be based in the building, the action during the strike was intended to express solidarity with Lithuania\u2019s cultural community and to draw attention to the demands raised over the Ministry of Culture being handed over to \u201cNemuno au\u0161ra\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

On Sunday, the nationwide warning strike brought together not only cultural organisations in Kaunas city and district, but also cultural workers across Lithuania: national cultural and arts institutions, ethnic and amateur culture organisations, city theatres, museums, festivals, non-governmental arts organisations, creators\u2019 associations, and trade unions.<\/p>\n\n

According to the National Institute of Architecture, the traffic-light-like light installation in the central windows of the Kaunas Central Post Office building will remain in operation until work begins on Monday. The initiative was carried out in cooperation with the technical event services company Scenos Techninis Servisas, photographer Arvydas \u010ciuk\u0161ys, and advertising producers Artreka.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe express our support for Lithuania\u2019s entire cultural community, united in an unprecedented movement. \u201cWe do not support the destruction brought about by today\u2019s political manoeuvring. Culture is a prerequisite for a democratic, creative, and cohesive civic society. It should not be traded, divided, manipulated, or handed over to those for whom transparency, respect, professionalism, and competence are not characteristic,\u201d says K\u0119stutis Kuizinas, Director of the National Institute of Architecture.<\/p>\n\n

By Government resolution, in 2028 the former Kaunas Central Post Office building will become home to the National Institute of Architecture, a cultural centre dedicated to Lithuania\u2019s architectural art and history, in early 2028. Restoration works are scheduled to begin here later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
