The Spirit of Vilnius exhibition is a tribute to Grand Duke Gediminas who in his letters written seven centuries ago invited all people of good faith to come to Vilnius and practice their religion freely.

The result was a tolerance which allowed the city to have for a long time as many synagogues as churches and to be named by Napoleon “The Jerusalem of the North”.

Spirit of Vilnius is produced with the collective participation of artists whose media are video, photography, mosaic, sculpture as well as performances. Many places of worship are presented there.

An initiative of Natan Karczmar | With the support of Transcultures/City Sonic 20 years, European Pepinieres of Creation, FAYR Ecosystem and the Ministry of Culture and Innovation of the Republic of Užupis.
