An exhibition of jewellery and small design “Voices and Things of Samogitia“ by Lithuanian jewellery artist Eglė Čėjauskaitė-Gintalė will be launched in Tokyo, at Gallery SanKaïBi.
While exploring her roots, she was inspired by the poet and prof. Viktorija Daujotytė, who writes and recites in the Samogitian dialect.
The collection of exhibits includes neck decorations, medallions, fasteners, medals, and hair accessories that were created by combining a variety of techniques and materials (bleached silver, radiant gold, corroded steel, brass, bronze, mammoth bone, rope, decayed fabric). During the exhibition, the artist will come to Japan for the first time and workshop at Nishiaizu International Art Village is expected.
