Rasma Noreikyte and Aiste organized a sewing event/workshop at her college, in Lithuania, and created a European site for the 25 Million Stitches project as well as an event/seminar platform in Kaunas, European Capital of Culture 2022, Each week Rasma and Aiste present the 25 Million Stitches project to different communities in Kaunas including local schools, neighborhoods and town meetings. They draw crowds through social media announcements and hold sewing circles. Rasma writes “I show some slides and we ask them to participate and be part of your big plan (25 Million Stitches). And we ask them to think about the times when Lithuania had lost independence, how our people had to leave their homes...” They plan on a local installation of the 25 Million Stitches in Lithuania in January of 2020 before shipping the panels to Sacramento for the June installation.I have started spreading your project and with my colleague Aiste we made as an event / seminars in platform Kaunas European Capital of Culture 2022.
