Kunstniku asukohariik: Leedu

Rėda Brandišauskienė is a Vilnius-born artist, lawyer, and cultural heritage activist whose practice interweaves critical inquiry with poetic gesture to address questions of urban transformation, memory, and spatial justice. With a multidisciplinary background spanning law, education, public administration, and the arts, she situates artistic practice as both civic engagement and critical reflection.

Her recent projects include White Darkness (2025), a site-specific fog installation on Savior’s Hill in Vilnius Old Town responding to the cultural landscape loss caused by real estate development. The work was later reimagined as a short poetic film with an original score, screened at Titanikas Gallery (Vilnius Academy of Arts) and other venues. She has also presented the digital collage Fog of Signatures (2025), the solo exhibition A Square of Mind (apiece gallery, Vilnius), featured in the official programme of Vilnius Culture Night Festival, and Sodai (Vilnius Academy of Arts Library, 2025). Earlier works include Nidos Utopijos (2024), Body by the Water (Art Without a Roof, 2023), and the urban performance Concrete Tsunami (Republic of Užupis Independence Day Carnival, 2016). Supported by the Research Council of Lithuania, Brandišauskienė’s practice increasingly merges poetics, protest, and research, generating new forms of visibility and public dialogue about the future of the city.

In 2025, Brandišauskienė completed her Master of Arts in Site-Specific Art at the Vilnius Academy of Arts with the project White Darkness. Since autumn 2025, she has been a doctoral candidate in the Arts at the Vilnius Academy of Arts, where she is pursuing a new artistic research project.
