“The traditional theme of the biennale – man and the city – this time has been supplemented with the sub-theme “Contexts of the present”, in order to highlight the contemporary problems and challenges that people face in the urban environment: urbanization, ecology, the effects of the pandemic, social conflicts and their impact on cities and residents,” says project manager Marija Rudokaitė-Kazlauskė.
The Biennale invited photographers to delve into the relationship between man and the city, exploring both physical and psychological connections, to reveal not only the problems of the city, but also its positive aspects – the community of the citizens, cultural vitality, innovations, urban aesthetics.

These are Lithuanians Algimantas Aleksandravičius, Ramūnas Danisevičius, Arvydas Gudas, Stasys Povilaitis, Andrius Repšys, Saulius Saladūnas, Marija Šileikaitė-Čičirkienė, Latvian photo artists Aija Bley, Reinis Hofmanis, Czech Kristýna Heiningerová, creators from Poland Agnieszka Babińska, Konrad Dobrucki, Serbian Saša Montiljo and Ukrainian artists Mariia Drozdova, Julia Kochetova.
