Opening of the sensory exhibition for the blind and not only "In the shoes of Lithuanian partisans..."

The Museum of Freedom Struggles will host an exhibition of the senses "In the Shoes of Lithuanian Partisans" from November 5 to November 29, inviting you not only to see but also to feel history. This is not an ordinary exhibition - it is a journey into the past, where every sound, smell or touch becomes a bridge to the world of partisans.

The author of the exhibition, Rūta Rimšelienė, is a footwear designer, historian and researcher who dared to look at the post-war era through an unexpected but extremely impressive perspective – shoes. Footwear, its accessories, shoelaces, and wax-scented sole blanks become not objects but symbols – testifying to the experiences of the Freedom Fighters, their choices, sacrifice and fortitude.

This exhibition is not only a work of art, but also therapy. It shocks, makes you breathe more slowly, listen to the silence between sounds. It invites you not only to see, but also to feel – that is why it is intended not only for the sighted, but also for the blind. This is a rare case when history becomes accessible to everyone through the senses, and not just through facts or dates.

---------------------------------
The exhibition "In the Shoes of Lithuanian Partisans" is a sensitive reminder that freedom has its price, and every trace of it is a path walked with blood and sweat.

This exhibition will be open in Lazdijai from November 5 to 29, and on November 5 at 12 noon, its opening and meeting with the author Rūta Rimšeliene will take place - a creator who managed to turn history into a symphony of sensations.

This is not just an exhibition. This is a confrontation with our own conscience, memory, and freedom.
