"Nature is our greatest ally and our greatest inspiration."
The Memory of Water
The Memory of Water project is a collaboration between body painter Vilija Vitkute and choreographer Małgorzata Suś. Dedicated to oceans and marine life on our planet, it was created in order to bring attention to climate crisis and necessity of water life protection.
Over last 4 years (2019-2023) the project travelled to Norway – Lofoten (Arctic), Iceland and Sweden – Gotland (Baltic Sea), and Iceland again.
In collaboration with an international team of artists, we have created series of photographs, films and performances.
