Giuliana Prucca, independent curator, researcher, and writer, as well as founder and art director of AVARIE, is delighted to participate in the international photography symposium NIDA. Meeting Photography in Nida, Lithuania.
She will lead the workshop Displacements: From Time-Image to Book-Space, taking place from Monday 14 to Wednesday 16, and will give a lecture entitled Independent Publishing as an Artistic and Curatorial Practice on Friday 17, 2026, at 12 pm.
Displacements: From Time-Image to Book-Space is a thinking lab on artists’ book design and publishing as an interdisciplinary practice. Three intensive days of open discussion on translating time and movement into visual space through the dynamic montage of mixed media. Beginning with significant and unconventional examples from the history of the artist’s book, and drawing on photography, cinema, performance, and writing, Giuliana Prucca will examine the status of images, the role of the archive, and the potential of editing processes to deconstruct narratives and challenge representation. The workshop welcomes artists, photographers, filmmakers, and image-makers of all levels, as well as anyone interested in books as active platforms for experimentation, dissemination, and the circulation of artworks. Participants are invited to bring their own work – prints, digital files, ideas, notes, and visual or literary references – to be developed through group layout sketches and a collective review, fostering collaborative dialogue.
The lecture reflects on independent publishing as an artistic and curatorial practice. Drawing on her experience, Giuliana Prucca will discuss the book as an autonomous medium for generating new forms of knowledge and for rethinking the relationship between images, archives, time, and space. Through selected projects and a visual dialogue between film and book excerpts, the talk will offer insight into publishing as a critical tool capable of transforming and expanding the possibilities of an original work.
International photography symposium, NIDA. Meeting Photography is one of the longest-running professional photography events in Lithuania. The first symposium took place in 1973. With few missed years the event survived until this day. From the very beginning the event has been trying to follow tendencies of festivals in the world – to meet, to exchange ideas, to create, involve local community and their cultural organizations.
The program includes lectures, art workshops, artist talks, exhibition openings, nighttime projections in public spaces in Nida, and informal gatherings with lecturers and guests.
The symposium actively explores new approaches and forms to make culture more accessible, highlight informal educational processes, and broaden the understanding of photography while encouraging diversity. Rather than treating photography as a separate field, it situates the medium within the broader context of contemporary art.
The international photography symposium NIDA attracts participants and visitors not only from Lithuania but also from abroad. The aim is for Nida to become an important hub for photography in Europe, fostering discussion around current artistic and cultural processes in the region.
