@kaunas2022.eu
We are happy to announce that Kaunas has officially been designated the European Capital of Culture 2022. Kaunas of Lithuania seeks to become a changing force for a local community as well as for the communities with similar problems and issues all over Europe. The official slogan for the city is: “KAUNAS 2022: FROM TEMPORARY TO CONTEMPORARY“. The concept of an artistic and overall community program is based on three CONs: To become CONTEMPORARY we need to overcome CONfusion in our fragmented and censored history and mentality, to understand that we are a CONfluence not only of two biggest Lithuanian rivers, but of very different and sometimes conflicting people and ideas, and, finally, we have to create CONsciousness which can productively lead us to become a more successful community in Europe and for Europe. By CONTEMPORARY, we mean being CONnected with the rest of Europe, to be in CONtext and to create a new CONtent for our city, our country and our Europe. Therefore, from now on, Kaunas is a place where everyone is invited to participate and contribute. Or KAUNtribute, as some may say… The artistic and community program is being launched right away. The revolutionary TEMPO ACADEMY has already having the first wave of graduates. The Tempo Academy is built on the basis of Kaunas – European Capital of Culture office. It is structured and designated to serve as an impact school with all the activities of an office being supplemented with lectures and classes for local culture community. The Contemporary MYTH OF KAUNAS – a complex public relations project, aimed to create an attractive narrative for the city, is being initiated as a web page where everyone will have an opportunity to tell a story of The Beast of Kaunas by collaborative writing. Kaunas the European Capital of Culture 2022 starts now. KAUNect and stay in KAUNtact!
