On October 12-14, the KUNO annual network meeting 2023 was hosted by the VDA in Vilnius. The KUNO network unites 18 fine art academies across the Nordic-Baltic region, and over 60 staff members from the KUNO network partner academies attended the meeting in Vilnius this year.
The KUNO Biennial 2023 was opened on the 12th of October in the VDA gallery space Titanic (Maironio St. 3, 2nd floor) and wll run until November 18, 2023.
Shared Imaginations is the KUNO Biennial that was developed from a proposition to imagine how this transnational school would manifest as a single exhibition. It builds on the momentum of two earlier exhibitions at Tallinn, Estonian Academy of Arts in 2021, and Arts Academy at Turku University of Applied Sciences in 2022.
