Ona Barbora Šlapšinskaitė

Ona Barbora Šlapšinskaitė is an artist and educator who lives in Vilnius, where she is currently studying for an MA in Sculpture at the Vilnius Academy of Arts. The artist creates installations in which personal memories, family stories, and political contexts unfold and sometimes create conditions for different communities to meet. Recently, she has been rethinking the role of ‘ghosts’ in her work, both on personal and political levels. In using auto- and biographical facts and weaving them into fictional stories, Ona Barbora tries to highlight the influence of history and ideological heritage on past, present and future identities.
