3rd ūmėdė [uːmeədeə] festival 2025
October 16-19th, 2025.
x⬳disciplinary festival for emerging art & related matters at @sodas2123 since 2021
Moved by Water @viktorijajanauskiene @energy_mapping , closing event of Bathing & Beyond program @umedefest .
Developed through the Wastu® Lithuania water experience and somatic bodywork, this offers a sensory immersion in water that interlaces with embodied authentic movement, allowing participants to sense the threshold between the self, water, and the unseen forces connecting us to the greater aquatic body of life. Movement combined with the sound waves of instruments, gongs, Tibetan bowls, bells, and Eglė Vilpišauskienė’s voice rippling in space and water creates invisible waves that connect the body and the environment through expanded awareness and cellular consciousness, strengthening experiences of care, support, and transformation.
Viktorija is a Watsu® therapist, active since the year 2011, an AQVUS underwater modality practitioner, a certified Integrated Body and Movement Therapy (IBMT) practitioner, merging elements of Shiatsu, 5-element theory, somatic practices, and Chinese image medicine into her work, practicing Jun Juan qigong and energy work. She works individually and with groups, leading somatic meditations.
Eglė Vilpišauskienė is a professional art therapist, graduated from Metafora School in Barcelona, Spain. Egle has over 10 years of experience working with individuals and running therapy group sessions across different age groups. In addition to her practice as an art therapist, Egle is a certified mineral therapy specialist and Gong master from Vilnius, Lithuania. She has completed an intensive sound healing course in Lithuania, as well as specialized training in Tibetan singing bowl massage. Her practices also include creating healing drawings/portals, combining her voice with the power of light language, movement, therapeutic instruments and minerals to open transformative spaces.

Post-Covid Blues: Coughscape (2025)
Sound installation, 6 channels, 6 speakers
A site-responsive sound intervention exploring affective and bodily reactions emerging within the space of listening. Emitting cough sounds through a dispersed speaker array, the coughscape invites close listening and attentiveness to ‘the Other’. Rooted in the dialogical essay «postcovid blues» by Yasya Minenkova and Yanis Proshkinas, the work traces post-participation residues, examining how the pandemic recoded bodily sounds into biopolitical markers and inviting audiences to register their own emotional and sensory responses — distance, vigilance, responsiveness.
Artists: Yanis Proshkinas, Yasya Minenkova, Denis Bykosvky (AIRE collective)

It has been a week since Bathing & Beyond took place @umedefest@sodas2123 , Vilnius.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who supported, trusted, and shared presence within this project — artists, organisers, and volunteers. Thank you for being part of this beautiful journey into fluids, liquids, bathings, weaving sea storymaking, and all the unseen confluences we lived together through these luminous days. @jolanta.sendaite_paulauskiene @saulius_leonawicius @viktorijajanauskiene @energy_mapping @theweavereva@whitemirroroddities , Eirini Sourgiadaki & Vytautas Michelkevicius.
I am so touched by each of the works, the kindness, and the way we held space with such care — a weaving of inclusion, many voices nurturing the living spirit of this project.Together, we reclaim threads once lost — reweaving Baltic Sea stories of resilience , repair, and renewal. We rediscover the body as a an ecosystem of ancestral liquidities, traveling to the origins of life, receiving liquid light codes deep within our cells — from the cosmic ocean.
Recently, I came across a reflection about how musicians in an orchestra learn to breathe together — to create harmony rather than seek to stand out. It felt like the essence of Bathing & Beyond: how we, too, are learning to move and create as one body — attuned, listening, and surrendering to the collective rhythm that carries us. In this shared flow, we rediscover the true beauty of listening — a symphony of care, memory, and belonging. Through temperature, sound and water, we remember the power of surrender, sacred union, and harmony. We are ready to love , acknowledge and release what divides us. ✨💧✨

It has been a week since Bathing & Beyond took place @umedefest@sodas2123 , Vilnius.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who supported, trusted, and shared presence within this project — artists, organisers, and volunteers. Thank you for being part of this beautiful journey into fluids, liquids, bathings, weaving sea storymaking, and all the unseen confluences we lived together through these luminous days. @jolanta.sendaite_paulauskiene @saulius_leonawicius @viktorijajanauskiene @energy_mapping @theweavereva@whitemirroroddities , Eirini Sourgiadaki & Vytautas Michelkevicius.
I am so touched by each of the works, the kindness, and the way we held space with such care — a weaving of inclusion, many voices nurturing the living spirit of this project.Together, we reclaim threads once lost — reweaving Baltic Sea stories of resilience , repair, and renewal. We rediscover the body as a an ecosystem of ancestral liquidities, traveling to the origins of life, receiving liquid light codes deep within our cells — from the cosmic ocean.
Recently, I came across a reflection about how musicians in an orchestra learn to breathe together — to create harmony rather than seek to stand out. It felt like the essence of Bathing & Beyond: how we, too, are learning to move and create as one body — attuned, listening, and surrendering to the collective rhythm that carries us. In this shared flow, we rediscover the true beauty of listening — a symphony of care, memory, and belonging. Through temperature, sound and water, we remember the power of surrender, sacred union, and harmony. We are ready to love , acknowledge and release what divides us. ✨💧✨
The project is supported by @nordiskkulturfond , @yauya.ltsaunas , @oca_norway , @norwayinlithuania . Partly supported by Lithuanian Council for Culture, and Vilnius City Municipality.

Nets and Connections – Workshop & Installation at @umedefest 2025 @sodas2123 @edenbaths Grateful for these connections.
Together, we reclaim threads once lost to the sea, reweaving stories of resilience, repair, and renewal.
An installation and participatory workshop reimagining discarded fishing nets as vessels of ecological memory and transformation. Participants explore the tactile imprints of marine life and the passage of time on the nets, engaging in dialogue about water pollution, cultural continuity, and collective repair.

Roots twist beneath asphalt, blurring living and inanimate, opening vulnerable attunements to urban ecologies.
More information about program:
http://umede.lt/program-2025/
***
"The performance How Much the Roots Twist Under the Asphalt poetically blurs the distinction between living and inanimate entities and encourages sensitization to one's surroundings. It shows the idea of life under our cities, how roots move under the asphalt, how they intertwine and communicate. Combined with the sound and vocals of the author's lyrics, we find ourselves thinking out loud in an open and honest way, putting us in awkward and vulnerable situations that may be familiar. To grasp the principle of non-human actors, we must release the need to label things and instead begin to sense them.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.
