Throughout the summer, we prepared, collected and registered letters, gifts and other parcels from Kaunas residents on different banks of Kaunas (Old Town, Šančiai, Vilijampolė, Jiesia, City Center and Aleksotas) intended for the other bank of the river. The time has come to deliver these parcels to the Kaunas residents living on the other shores

Throughout the summer, we prepared, collected and registered letters, gifts and other parcels from Kaunas residents on different banks of Kaunas (Old Town, Šančiai, Vilijampolė, Jiesia, City Center and Aleksotas-Marvelė) intended for the other bank of the river. The time has come to deliver these parcels to the Kaunas residents living on the other shores and to establish a symbolic dialogue between the shores, so from August 14, three Sundays in August, the UPYNĖS post office will move to the rivers – Nemunas and Neris – and start a logistical postal operation, during which we will transport the parcels prepared by the people of Kaunas from shore to shore and will distribute them to the other participants of the social river game “UPYNĖS: Kitam Krante” (UPYNĖS: On the Other Shore).
The workshops LETTERS TO THE OTHER SHORE is part of the social river game “UPYNĖS: On the Other Shore”. During the workshops on various places by the rivers of Kaunas, new creative ways to look at the other bank of the river will be sought and various original letters and parcels dedicated to the other bank will be created. Participants will receive UPYNĖS RECEIPTS, with which they will be able to receive a shipment from the other shore by river mail in August!
A unique social river game “On the Other Shore” will take place all summer on the shores of Kaunas Kaunas has been growing and developing next to rivers for hundreds of years – just a century ago the city was still one of the largest river ports in the whole region! Here, ships arriving up
Projekto UPYNĖS veiklų arealas apima per Kauną tekančias upes, miesto krantus ir jo upelius – jį tyrinėjame kartu su miesto bendruomenėmis, kurios turi (arba nori surasti ir/arba geriau suprasti) asmeninį santykį su upėmis (upeliais) ir paupiais. Pagrindinė šių tyrimų priemonė – ekspedicija, leidžianti naujomis akimis susipažinti su supančia aplinka ir atrasti mums dar neįprastas teritorijas,
