20 questions
Every artist is a person, and every person has some principal values that determine who he is and what he fears, loves, cares and thinks about his current environment.
During our meetings and lectures we ask our guests (or hosts) 20 simple questions, which we consider essential to understand one's vision and the culture he's part of.
The interviews are uploaded to our facebook page & one day we hope to produce a documentary based on the materials we gather.

The town of Jurbarkas, Yurburg in Yiddish, is a rather unusual place in the Lithuanian cultural and political landscape.
Unlike other towns and cities in Lithuania, the people of Jurbarkas are committed to preserve the history of their town where the Jewish people once lived and formed an integral part of the community playing a central role in the urban and financial development of the region.
Recently the municipality approved renaming the junction of Kauno and Kranto streets in the town center –
The Synagogue Square.
This square, adjacent to the historical location of Yurburg's two major Synagogues, was chosen as the site for a memorial dedicated to the Jewish Community of Yurburg.
In April 2016, mayor Skirmantas Mockevicius asked H.E. Mr. Amir Maimon, the Ambassador of the State of Israel to the Republic of Lithuania to contact Israeli sculptor David Zundelovitch and his creative group CAN New Artists Collegium with a request to design and create the future memorial.
