Memorial evening for Jurga Ivanauskaitė

On Saturday, November 21, at 3:00 PM, we invite you to a memorial evening and 65th birth anniversary commemoration of the modern classic Jurga Ivanauskaitė. During the event, memories of the writer will be shared by her sister Radvilė Racėnaitė and close friend, poet Dovilė Zelčiūtė; poems dedicated to Jurga Ivanauskaitė will be recited, and we will reflect on what remains alive and continues the writer's path. The conversation will be moderated by Agnė Cesiulė. Since the most significant commemoration of the writer's legacy is the annual Jurga Ivanauskaitė Prize, established by the Jurga Ivanauskaitė Creative Heritage Center and the publishing house "Tyto alba" and awarded since 2008 to young creators for bold and open expression, the second part of the event will feature readings of her texts by the prize laureates – writer and essayist Akvilina Cicėnaitė, poet Vitalija Maksvytė, and writer and historian Tomas Vaiseta. Admission is free.

The event may be photographed and filmed. Photos and video recordings may be used for event promotion on social media, websites, in the press, etc.
