A project of Saskia Fischer in collaboration with Lukas Strolia. Continuing in and around Vilnius as long as the flowers grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with contributions by Sara Rodrigues, Lindsay Seers, Lukas Strolia, Delta Mityba, Nerijus Rimkus, Borb\u00e1la So\u00f3s, Saskia Fischer, and more as we continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013\u2013
Indulging in greenery, a place that feels comforting and welcoming, calm, nurturing and warm, friendly, sunny, colorful, happy. Picking herbs, apples, berries and tomatoes, sitting outside, enjoying the sun, eating food, drinking wine, making a fire, being with friends\u2014our laughter is only interrupted by the humming and chirping of bees and birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn\u2019t this a relatable longing? Can a garden be more than a romantic thought? Beyond its most obvious notions, what can a garden be? What forms can it take?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does cultural work have to do with cultivation? The crops we raise, the way we plant, harvest, process, preserve, eat and with whom we share our meals\u2014what are the traces these actions leave in our material and social environments? Is gardening a political practice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within A Garden for Autarkia we are curious to study concepts and methods of gardening from our extended community of neighbors, friends, horticulturists, artists, designers, writers, cultural workers, activists and researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unique to most art organizations, Autarkia shares its physical space with the restaurant Delta Mityba. It is where we would warmly like to invite you to come for a visit and meet with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
