I expect Lithuania and Baltic States to bring stylish etno products, I like minimalism and luxury at the same time.


Sakamizu-san. I have plenty of international business experience, but in my core I am true Japanese and consider the Western World as one: in Europe there is so much happening, and Russia always was aggressor. I am interested in diplomatic reasoning and brave human acts Baltic Way happened when I was young and active, so I can relate.



Sara. I am young, navigate digital media flawlessly. I don’t know or care much about history, but I care about social issues and am conscious and quick to react (on social media). I want new experiences from exhibitions, how 60s-90s are new? :O
