Jonas Mekas’ Visual Arts Center in Vilnius was filled with thousands of handcrafted projectiles from water and soil.

“Pluto Time,” the latest installation, transformed the space with a silent piano and metaphorically bullet-riddled walls, aligning the gallery’s tempo with Pluto’s distant pace. It highlighted the war in Ukraine, emphasizing hope’s significance in conflict. Visitors actively participated, trading earth projectiles for donations to Ukrainian soldiers and using the fertile soil to plant flowers, symbolizing renewal.

Supported by the NBA (non budget art) platform, the event fused art with solidarity.
