It contains Aistis's travel photographs, which reveal the author's unique view of the world.

✈️ We will also get to know the exceptional olfactory art object LITUANICA, dedicated to the flight of S. Darius and S. Girėnas. It is the author's idea of ​​Aistis to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the flight of Darius and Girėnas, expressing the emotion of flight with a specially composed scent of an aviation theme. Here, the scent is not a commercial product, but an art object, which is complemented by graphic drawings and texts in the exhibition.

And it seems that it is not by chance that LITUANICA comes to Gruzdzi. One of the town's main streets is named after Darius and Girėnas, and further on it passes to Feliks Vaitkaus street - another pilot important to the history of Lithuanian aviation, who died in 1935. on behalf of the person who flew across the Atlantic on the "Lituanica II" plane. In this way, the history of this evening's scents will unexpectedly connect with the history of Gruzdzii themselves. ✈️🇱🇹
