Poster dedicated for the day of Lithuania Independence Restoration Day.
16th of February.
This event marked Lithuania’s first independence. Since Lithuania had been a sovereign nation before then, the day was named Restoration of the State Day in Lithuania, signifying their restored sovereignty. From then on, the country celebrated its independence every February 16. A major role in this was played by twenty representatives of the Council, which was chaired by Jonas Basanavičius. These representatives have signed the Act of Independence.

Poster dedicated to Užgavėnės.
It's a day that has a long tradition in Lithuania as the day on which the winter is chased away to make way for the upcoming spring. Every year the holiday festivities take place in the days before the Catholic lent that will last until Easter commences.
On Tuesday evening, the courtyard at the Teachers' House in Vilnius was crowded with people and scents of wood fire, sweets and, of course, pancakes. People gathered outdoors, anticipating the burning of Morė, a giant straw doll with a female head that symbolises the darkness of winter and the problems people endure.
Užgavėnės is all about saying goodbye to the winter. If the burning of Morė is not enough to make sure winter disappears, there is another major element to the holiday to ensure that the result is achieved. This second tradition shows Lašininis, a fat man who embodies the winter, and Kanapinis, a thin man personifying the spring, stand off in a battle as children cheer them on.
