Vytautė Trijonytė's exhibition "Kotonas"

We invite you to visit the "KOTONAS" exhibition and its opening. The "Cotton (Koton)" factory, which operated in Kaunas from 1925 to 1998, was a place where hundreds of women worked. Each of them had her own story, daily routine, and experiences, yet not all of them made it into the official pages of history. The exhibition invites you to look at the life of the factory through the memories, voices, objects, and signs of everyday life of these women. The audio-visual installation weaves together the stories of former employees, and the artworks become layers of memory, preserving what has long remained largely unnoticed. The exhibition author's personal connection to this history—her grandmother also worked at this factory—becomes a starting point for a broader narrative about women's work, experiences, and their contribution to the city's history. This is an invitation to pause, listen, and remember stories that may not have a monument, but are an important part of our collective memory. November 17, 6:00 PM – exhibition opening. You can view the exhibition from November 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027, at Girstutis. We invite you to visit! // Visiting the exhibitions is free!
