About the project

Term memorabilia defines an object which provides evidence about past events or describes the phenomenon when something is noted and worth remembering. Based on this the publication Memorabilia draws attention to the topic of memory and the processes of remembering by cleverly presenting artworks of Lithuanian artists. The pages containing the artworks are locked together leaving only some textual hints of what is hidden visible. This leads to putting more effort in order to see and therefore remember the artwork.

Memorabilia designed by Agnė Dautartaitė-Krutulė received several prestigious awards: best of the best award at Red Dot Awards in 2019; shortlisted in the Design Week Awards (London) in the Editorial Design category; winner in the Publication Design category in the competition The One Club for Creativity; shortlisted in a 50 books/50 covers competition organised by AIGA ─ the professional association for design (USA).
