In 2012 the Kazickas Family Foundation established the Joseph P. Kazickas Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Yale to support the Baltic Studies program in the MacMillan Center's Council on European Studies. 2017-2018 JPK fellowship recipient Arvydas Grisinas at the end of his stay presented photography exhibition by Juozas Kazlauskas focusing on the so called "January Events" in Lithuania.
In January 1991 the Soviet Army tried to re-capture the newly re-established state and was refuted by a peaceful protest. "Tanks were stopped with bare hands and machine guns silenced with songs" that day. The exhibition tells the story of what it meant to participate in the resistance and become post-Soviet.
"I'm grateful to The MacMillan Center (Christina Andrioti, Bradley Woodworth) for hosting me, the Anthropology Department for hosting the exhibition, and most importantly - to the Kazickas Family Foundation for making my visit at Yale possible," shares Grisinas. "Also - thanks to all the wonderful people I met here, for new friendships, great conversations, help and inspiration. This has been a half a year I will never forget."
Exhibition will be on display till the end of April
