When a slice of bread falls to the ground, I was taught to lift it and kiss it apologetically.
Sourdough holds a deep historical and social significance in Lithuania, symbolizing food security and national identity alongside other cultural symbols. In the traditional Lithuanian diet, grains occupy a central place. Traditions and customs related to grain crops have shaped the lifestyle of local residents for centuries.

Bernadeta Brazdžionytė graduated in 2022 with a Bachelor’s degree from Vilnius Academy of Arts, Department of Photography and Media Art. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Sculpture.
Her creative work is based on autobiographical experiences, which she later expresses through photographs, videos, texts, or compilations of found objects.
Documenting the past is done through first-person storytelling, exploring themes of personal and national identity, history, memory, social gender constructs, and body image. Her works have been exhibited at the Vilnius Photography Gallery, the SODAS 2123 gallery and others.
The exhibition runs until November 2.
Visiting hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The project is financed by the Lithuanian Council for Culture.
