We had a visit organised to the TV & Radio Station. The group explored the building and met with people working there while Linara and Pamela were interviewed - you can listen to it by clicking HERE then click on “Klaskika” in left column then you will find “Ryto allegro” in the right column) Ania Bas is also in this interview, but she did not come with us. She was exploring another part of Kaunas. The radio people talked to her at another time.

We went to Ramybés Park, a famous place for being robbed. The people we found there were mostly nice. Some of them thought we might be robbers, but most of them talked to us anyway. It is a place with a lot of history. We also went on the funicular and talked to the workers there. From the top of the funicular it is easy to get to Prisikėlimo bažnyčia, a church built between the 1st and 2nd World Wars - an important time for Kaunas, when it was the capital while Vilnius was occupied. (The name Prisikėlimo means Resurrection.) We talked to a man working there who had been sent to Siberia, and had returned. You can take an elevator to the top where there is an amazing view and even more amazing it was sunny.

We talked about the street musicians and street vendors on Laisves Avenue where shops are having a hard time competing with the new-ish huge-ish mall called Acropolis, which is just outside of the centre and not very attractive. We talked about the fact that Laisves means“Freedom”and we talked about talking to people about what that meant to them. We also went to Nemunos Island, where there is a park with a lot of rules and plans for development.

The group created a progressive installation that traced our interactions, including a film in response to the funicular.
