LECTURE | MIDCENTURY Detective Stories.
From design to everyday life.
Spaces, original mid-century modern furniture, scents, and unique stories will be interwoven into the narrative of the pre-war building. Ieva Baltrėnaitė-Markevičė, Doctor of Art, will speak on the topic of her doctoral studies in art, “The Secrets of the (Un)Assembled Collection.”
This lecture will be like a detective case, exploring the research and (un)collection of Lithuanian women’s clothing from 1940-1970, where the stories of Lithuanian women are hidden, forgotten, and unrecorded. In the lecture, you will have the opportunity to hear about Dr. Baltrėnaitė-Markevičė’s residency in Paris, her meetings with mid-century clothing preservationists, and the riddles she solved from Banga magazine to Vogue.
Before and after the lecture, Monika, the founder of the online perfume boutique NOSY.lt, will introduce you to niche perfumery from Australia, America, and other distant lands. Not only will you hear stories, but you will also have the chance to experience the magic of scents.
