Motivation
My curiosity in the intertwining fields of culture and politics in academic format gained a practical dimension since the full scale Russian invasion of Ukraine started. Having been in Kyiv during my studies, ten days before the occupation, I am personally and professionally involved in supporting Ukraine. The project with “Create Lithuania” has offered me a chance to contribute in a tangible and practical way.
A peculiar combination of musical and political backgrounds has given me the ability to think in a broad, inter–sectoral and creative manner, which I want to put in use during the implementation of this project.
