Since its launch in 2017, the project has focused on three interconnected goals: presenting innovative Lithuanian design and art, highlighting performing arts and music through international collaborations, and fostering creative business ties through industry conferences, networking events, and the vibrant Pink Soup Party. The project was born from the recognition that while Japanese audiences admire Lithuania, their perception often leans toward traditional elements like linen, amber, and folk art. Creative リトアニア seeks to expand this view, revealing a dynamic and evolving creative scene that reflects Lithuania’s contemporary identity. <img width="1600" height="1068" width_o="1600" height_o="1068" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0eb08d4746969116c02a84abe5c18ae164918bb4ed08cfbe8571449b16f5d9e0/e08.jpg" data-mid="223909400" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0eb08d4746969116c02a84abe5c18ae164918bb4ed08cfbe8571449b16f5d9e0/e08.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cad0c2ad2dba316060f3e9dcb8164a8d6592abec7e15efa661b0ee6ea088b589/e04.jpg" data-mid="223909369" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cad0c2ad2dba316060f3e9dcb8164a8d6592abec7e15efa661b0ee6ea088b589/e04.jpg" /> <img width="1300" height="1047" width_o="1300" height_o="1047" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ed1a16fdb3b634f73709f48a3a65de39711e5cdbaf0a3a2943494f128f750f7e/e05.jpg" data-mid="223909371" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ed1a16fdb3b634f73709f48a3a65de39711e5cdbaf0a3a2943494f128f750f7e/e05.jpg" /> <img width="1616" height="1080" width_o="1616" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/060bb6a2a3d3d38286ae0864e5edf0463138e1a5663ec6e3f366e59802d8e570/e06.JPG" data-mid="223909372" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/060bb6a2a3d3d38286ae0864e5edf0463138e1a5663ec6e3f366e59802d8e570/e06.JPG" /> <img width="1616" height="1080" width_o="1616" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/078dd28ada4df836d3da8f8530e1b347c14166b3c2a392db1d4f0b570f73e5df/e09.JPG" data-mid="223909404" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/078dd28ada4df836d3da8f8530e1b347c14166b3c2a392db1d4f0b570f73e5df/e09.JPG" /> One of main parts is exhibitions of Lithuanian contemporary art and design, new media art.

Works of filmmaker Jonas Mekas and fluxus father George Mačiūnas were also exhibited.&nbsp; An annual conference serves as a platform to present novel creative ideas from Lithuania and explore potential avenues for collaboration.&nbsp;It’s a platform where leading figures from Lithuania’s creative industries—designers, artists, technologists, and cultural managers—join Japanese counterparts to discuss emerging trends, share success stories, and lay the groundwork for future partnerships. While the conference itself follows a familiar format, its highlight is the renowned Pink Soup Party. This lively gathering fosters deeper connections and shared ideas, featuring Lithuania’s iconic cold beetroot soup alongside an array of traditional snacks and refreshments, creating a memorable blend of creativity and hospitality. <img width="1600" height="1200" width_o="1600" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/df01bef86cbdbb0d6ba05b427b112245682e93e53505c3447b73966f8a0df04a/p01.jpeg" data-mid="223909503" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/df01bef86cbdbb0d6ba05b427b112245682e93e53505c3447b73966f8a0df04a/p01.jpeg" /> <img width="1600" height="1200" width_o="1600" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/37f99b85d80f110f71cf65cfddf5fbe1793e3150064e095df8b1bc39db2ff0a2/p00.jpeg" data-mid="223909502" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/37f99b85d80f110f71cf65cfddf5fbe1793e3150064e095df8b1bc39db2ff0a2/p00.jpeg" /> <img width="1600" height="1200" width_o="1600" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a6772258823cd4cd013c785eb71d125dfdc9a4dacdfb7b3b6af1f3c736225053/p02a.jpeg" data-mid="223909504" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a6772258823cd4cd013c785eb71d125dfdc9a4dacdfb7b3b6af1f3c736225053/p02a.jpeg" /> <img width="1600" height="1200" width_o="1600" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9e2ffe4cfa323e4e04dc308fa269a988939e39a0b9247abc3068bc5de67ef9dc/p03.jpeg" data-mid="223909505" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9e2ffe4cfa323e4e04dc308fa269a988939e39a0b9247abc3068bc5de67ef9dc/p03.jpeg" /> <img width="1600" height="1600" width_o="1600" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0c25e1709168b8eb8c661d5500071dbe0aa76d76cf958376366cb9212fb2f4b0/p05.jpg" data-mid="223909507" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0c25e1709168b8eb8c661d5500071dbe0aa76d76cf958376366cb9212fb2f4b0/p05.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="1199" width_o="1600" height_o="1199" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b9e77453d577df3845989c005df67b47ad26f82412bdbfcf61f9dc765bc94c98/p04.jpeg" data-mid="223909506" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b9e77453d577df3845989c005df67b47ad26f82412bdbfcf61f9dc765bc94c98/p04.jpeg" /> Creative Lithuania comissions and hosts music and performing arts collaborations of Lithuanian and Japanese artists, including Boylston Jazz, Gintaras Sodeika and Tomo Yamaguchi, Kosmos Theatre and aus, Metroscan and others.
