The transdisciplinary artist and curator Natan Karczmar will present at Rotu\u0161\u0117, the former Vilnius Town Hall, the historical pictural works of his father Simon Karczmar and his own exhibition \u201cSpirit of Vilnius\u201d. His father’s exhibition was inspired by Shtetl Dieveniskes, a small Lithuanian village whose population before the last world war was partly Jewish. It also shows Safed in Israel as well as Jerusalem and the kibbutz.<\/p>\n

The Spirit of Vilnius<\/i> 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.<\/p>\n

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 \u201cThe Jerusalem of the North\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n

Spirit of Vilnius<\/i> 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Spirit of Vilnius<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The “Spirit of Vilnius” exhibition (+ interdisciplinary events) is a celebration of Vilnius’s rich heritage, a testament to the creativity of its people, and a tribute to the diverse cultures that call this city home.<\/p>\n

With the exhibition Spirit of Vilniu<\/i>s turning to his Lithuanian and Jewish heritage, Natan Karczmar and his collaborators explore the themes of identity, culture, and spirituality through photography, video, sculpture, sound art, poetry mosaic, scenography and performance.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Natan Karczmar started his creative activity in the sphere of communication art and became a member of the Aesthetics of Communication group in 1983, continuing his activities in Vilnius for the last five years while presenting his father Polish painter Simon Karczmar (1903-1982) works inspired by the Dievenishkes Shtetl.<\/p>\n

Natan Karczmar reminds us that Vilnius, which also has long been known as the Jerusalem of the North, is a city with a rich and diverse history. It is a place where many faiths, religions, and cultures have coexisted for centuries, inspired and connected by the letter of Grand Duke Gediminas, welcoming everybody of goodwill to come to Vilnius.<\/p>\n

The opening of Natan Karczmar’s Spirit of Vilnius <\/i>\u00a0and his father’s Universe<\/i> exhibitions will take place on the 6th of November at 18:00 in the Vilnius Town Hall. The exhibitions will be open until the 30th of November, and additional events will be announced. Natan Karczmar has imagined the main concept of the exhibition Spirit of Vilnius<\/i>, (where he has been living for a couple of years) contributing his photographs taken during the COVID-19 pandemic and archives from various cultural moments, allowing viewers to experience Vilnius through his personal lens and rich cultural history.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
