“I Often Forget”<\/strong> emerged from a profound absence. Raised in a Lithuanian Catholic community in Southern California, the author of the exhibition Jonas Kulikauskas received no formal education about the mass murder of Lithuanian Jews \u2014 a genocide that claimed most of the country’s Jewish population. Returning to Vilnius on a Fulbright fellowship in 2021, he confronted that silence through sustained artistic research. Mounting a World War II\u2013era lens onto a large-format 8\u00d710 camera, he photographed contemporary daily life within the boundaries of what was once the Vilna Ghetto, pairing those images with survivor testimonies and site-specific historical documentation. The resulting works interrogate the layered relationship between place, memory, and collective forgetting. <\/p>\n

Jonas Kulikauskas<\/strong> is an American-Lithuanian interdisciplinary artist whose research-based practice critically examines communities, traditions, and institutions. Recurring themes in his work include historical omission, cultural desecration, identity, and kindness. A Fulbright Scholar, his work is held in the permanent collections of the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution and the M. K. \u010ciurlionis National Museum of Art in Lithuania. He taught at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California from 2002 to 2022. He is currently an artist-in-residence at the U\u017eupis Art Incubator in Vilnius, Lithuania, where “I Often Forget” continues to evolve as a traveling exhibition.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
