Viltė Brazdžiūnaitė – Artist duo Viltė Bražiūnaitė ir Tomas Sinkevičius make work on the interlinked subjects of nature consumption, technology and climate anxiety in a world full of planetary shifts. The duo started to collaborate in 2014 while studying for bachelor’s degrees in Photography and Media art in Vilnius Academy of Arts.

Jonas Motiejus Meškauskas – a visual artist who develops his ideas in the medium of painting. In his paintings, Jonas uses a certain creative methodology – namely the trashiness of cardboard as a material, the monochromatic nature of the expression, the systematically fragmented archive of images, which is the basis of the motifs, based on a playful approach and a moderately anarchic attitude. Using these instruments, he constructs not individual works, but a network of them, representing the sensibility and artistic access of the post-internet generation, based on a digital, global archive of pictorial references, and a resistance to it, using unnatural materials and crude techniques that raise questions about the materiality of painting and the possibilities of commodification.

Geistė Marija Kinčinaitytė – the author of various artistic investigations that use photography and the moving image to explore the concepts of belonging, alienation and the unknown. Her work is characterised by an aesthetic of the uncomfortable and anxious, which combines the categories of the strange and the familiar, the distant and the close. Since 2014, her work has been actively presented in solo and group exhibitions in the United Kingdom (The Photographers’ Gallery), Norway (Fotogalleriet), Lithuania (Sodų 4, Vartai, Atletika, Prospektas Gallery, Vilnius Picture Gallery, Petras Domšaitis Gallery, Kaunas Photography Gallery, MO Museum), photography and art museums in South Korea, Taiwan and China.
