The 'Baltic Island' exhibition at Tokyo's Spiral Garden (June 1–14) presents a comprehensive showcase of visual culture from the Baltic Three Nations (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). Organized into three pillars—illustration, animation, and related events—the exhibition features works by 30 artists, including M.K. Čurliõnis's retrospective and pieces by Karolis Strautniekas and Eiko Ojala. Curated by Birutė Žilytė and Jēva Babiļietė, it explores themes like digital identity and ecological fragility through traditional narratives and family memories. The animation program highlights Baltic-specific 'silence and whitespace' aesthetics, offering a fresh perspective compared to Japanese animation culture.
