Elvita Šiberekovaitė's ceramic exhibition "Guardians of Shadows"

Starting November 13, we invite you to Elvita Šiberekovaitė's ceramic exhibition "Guardians of Shadows". The exhibition explores Baltic mythology and the mysterious space it creates in human everyday life. Kaukas, aitvaras, and laumė are mythological creatures closely connected to human life and the world surrounding it. They embody a worldview where the invisible world is not separated from daily life, and magic can hide in the most ordinary things. The author of the exhibition is interested in the duality of these creatures – they can protect and accompany a person, yet they remain unpredictable, mysterious, and ultimately unknowable. The ceramic sculptures seek the forms of these creatures, but do not aim to depict them directly. Abstract, organic shapes resemble birds, tree burls, or unfamiliar natural formations, but do not reveal their unambiguous identity. They balance between the recognizable and the alien, the natural and the supernatural, as if they belonged to a world that exists alongside us but does not always reveal itself to the gaze. The exhibition invites you into a space where mythological creatures can be sensed, but not necessarily seen or explained. They become like invisible inhabitants of everyday life, reminding us that there is still room in the world for mystery, imagination, and that which we cannot fully understand. This is an attempt to approach a magical perception of the world, where a human is not the only active participant, and familiar reality always hides more than it allows to be seen at first glance. The exhibition will run from November 13 to December 13. Location: KKC, 2nd exhibition space Visiting the exhibition is FREE! You can view the exhibitions by arriving at events or during KKC working hours.
