Inga Galinytė (Lithuania) is an interdisciplinary and performing artist. She holds a bachelor's and a master's degree from the Vilnius Academy of Arts. By looking interdisciplinary, the artist creates a performative language that explores the disciplines of performance art, contemporary dance, theater, combining them with the knowledge and practices of visual art. In the creative process, Inga often plays around with daily collected data of images, sounds, movements, and texts, where the various connections of them become the scripts for her works that focus on topics such as empathetic actions, memory and the phenomenon of immortality. In developing her artistic tools, next to academic education, Inga participated in the Paris Summer Academy organized by Oriantheatre dance company, did research in a movement language called Gaga in Tel Aviv developed by choreographer Ohad Naharin, was selected to participate in a Summer Program at Watermill Center in New York, founded by theater director Robert Wilson and other various workshops. Her works were presented across the world, including the Lithuanian Swamp Pavilion during the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale, the 12th Kaunas Biennial in Lithuania, the annual Gala event 'Time Bomb' at The Watermill Center in New York, The exhibition 'Le Loup de Fer' in Paris and other exhibitions and events. In addition to personal creations, the artist also participated as a performer in the works of artists, among others, such as Alexandra Pirici, Willi Dorner, Cocorosie, Pere Faura.
