In 2027, the whole world and Lithuania will celebrate the 105th anniversary of the birth of the famous artist Jonas Mekas. Born on Christmas Day in 1922 on the outskirts of Lithuania, J. Mekas carried the longing for his native home in his heart all his life. That longing was like a spark – it warmed, comforted, and at the same time burned fiercely, says a publication prepared by the Jonas Mekas Visual Arts Center (VMC).
