On November 27 at 5 p.m., the Utena Museum of Local Lore invites you to a meeting dedicated to the exceptional artist Marianne von Werefkin – a woman who was ahead of her time with her work, worldview, and courage.
With this event, the museum contributes to the national women's achievements week "In the Name of the Queen", initiated by Julija Janus, inspired by Barbora Radvilaitė. The initiative invites us to take a fresh look at the stories of women, their work, achievements and contribution to Lithuanian and world culture, and to draw attention to personalities who bravely transcended the boundaries of their time and changed the established view of the role of women in society.
Marianne von Werefkin is one such personality. Her life and work testify to the courage to be different, to find her own path and not to obey the usual framework. Although she was often misunderstood in her time, today her work and worldview inspire a new discovery of her personality.
The event program includes:
– Lecture by Dr. L. Laučkaitė-Surgailienė;
– performance by a soloist from choreographer M. Staniulėnas' troupe.
We invite you to meet, get to know, and appreciate a woman who dared to live and create in her own way.
