Kasparas Brazovskis / Public Intervention

Through interconnected performances in public space, Bumba and Kasparas Brazovskis examine visibility, belonging and access. Engaging directly with passers-by, the performances question who gets to occupy public space, who decides the rules that shape it, and how power becomes visible through everyday encounters. Within FOR THE CULTURE, the city itself becomes a site for reflecting on representation, participation and collective life.

Working across installation, storytelling and shared rituals, Kasparas Brazovskis considers how objects, food and collective gatherings shape cultural identity and belonging. His practice responds to experiences of movement and a multicultural upbringing, creating installations where everyday rituals become acts of connection.

Within FOR THE CULTURE, Brazovskis reimagines his installation Expired Passport as a communal table. Inspired by childhood memories of sharing couscous in Tunisia, the work invites visitors to gather around a large bowl of šaltibarščiai, Lithuania’s iconic cold soup. By bringing people together through a shared meal, the installation shifts the focus from individual migration stories to the simple act of eating together, proposing the table as a place where culture, memory and belonging are created collectively.

This performance is part of SUMMER OF MINO – FOR THE CULTURE, a monthlong, citywide programme of exhibitions, performances and interventions across Antwerp.
