Somewhere between a documentary and an artist's moving image work, LAK i forms a part of a larger project focusing on migratory bird routes from Lithuania via Palestine and Lebanon to Sudan, which emerged from a need to counter the rise of negative nationalism in Eastern Europe and foster broader non-Western solidarities through more-than-human actors: “If birds inhabit, traverse and are welcomed across different geographies with ritualistic regularity, perhaps our relationship with them, and hence with one another, could also be built not on geopolitical, but on geopoetic terms.”

Marija Nemčenko travels through towns and villages in South East Lithuania by bike, collecting stories of white storks. Much of what the camera records is a rural way of life that's slowly disappearing – including some traditional songs. Through these captured conversations, reflections, and images, LAK i slowly weaves together a story of home and our ever-changing relationship to nature.

* Please note, The Lower Hall at the Pyramid at Anderston is wheelchair accessible through a ramp at a side entrance. There are 9 steps between the level where it is located and the rest of the venue, meaning that to make way to the accessible toilet or other parts of the building, wheelchair users will need to re-enter via the main entrance. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
