  • What Goes Around Comes Around

    19-21 MARCH, VILNIUS

    This March, the symposium What Goes Around Comes Around will unfold in Vilnius as a three-day constellation of a conference and an art programme. Bringing critical discourse in urbanism and architecture into dialogue with artistic work, the symposium approaches circular design not merely as a strategy of material reuse, but as a profound way of rethinking value, labour, energy, and continuity across time

    Organised by Architektūros fondas

    Location: National Gallery of Art, Vilnius

    All symposium events are free, but some require registration‍ ‍
