bye-bye nida art colony
today is the first day of me not being NAC admin after long and crazy 3,5 years. it’s been a tremendously transformative time, there is no molecule of me which is not affected by NAC’s constellation of people, things, materials, minutes, seconds, cleaning schedules, dreams and nightmares, runs and talks, lessons, attempts, pains, tears, laughters, more laughters, bonds, love, big love, big care, overstimulation, office phone, fun, ultimate fun, loneliness, capacities, words, connections, thoughts and lessons again and again.
an attempt to collect photos representing these years is doomed to fail. it’s been a lot and more.
and now it all is traveling into the past.
thank you
@nidaartcolony for being in my life and thank you Egija that it all happened.
thank you my unbelievable amazing colleagues
@mnkln ,
@albertaglobe ,
@dau_ra ,
@yana_tyme ,
@gabijanaik and Nomeda - i would literally not survive without you.
thank you
@antomczyk ,
@m1aana , and
@k.vs.g for being together in liminalities
thank you each and every person who shared the care for NAC and who cared for me.
for quite a while i was saying that i grew into the NAC buildings and i felt like i became one with them. lately i started growing away from NAC - and it’s not an easy but a very exciting change.
today i cry.
feels like nothing on earth can express what the hell working in nida art colony means for me - it has built and shaped my life in Lithuania, where i could stay only because of NAC.
NAC is a colony after all, and it makes sense that it made me to be more and more serious about decolonizing my brain.
a way to go
this specific moment i am sad. but joy is around, in past and ahead.
💛
