Event organised as part of the Lithuanian Season in France 2024.

Lithuanian-born US artist Aleksandra Kasuba (born Fledžinskaitė-Kašubienė, 1923–2019) was a visionary of the 20th century space exploration era. A retrospective of her work is constructed as a bright, inspiring narrative about losses and possibilities as well as futures that emerge in the face of turbulent times.

It is the story of Kasuba who was forced to flee her home country after World War II and emigrated to the USA. She studied sculpture and textiles at the Kaunas School of Arts and Vilnius Art Academy in Lithuania. In 1944, as a consequence of the Nazi and Soviet occupations, she fled the country with her sculptor husband, ending up in a displaced-persons camp in Germany until 1947, when the couple moved to America. In 1963, she settled in New York and became an artist creating visionary spatial environments made of tensile fabrics; a story about an imaginary future without right angles as a habitat for
the wandering soul.
