The aim of the exhibition IDENTITY is to bring together, in one shared space, the works of textile students from art academies in the Baltic countries. Higher art education institutions in neighbouring countries are closely connected through artist–educators, professional networks, and mutual collaboration, and the exhibition offers an opportunity to explore the creative work of students studying at different institutions.
