In 2022, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a request from Donatas Šukelis, a journalist from LRT and host of the radio show "Rajonas" on LRT Opus. He reached out to me to explore my hometown district and discuss my life experiences there, along with the inspirations I draw from that environment.
"The Jeruzalė district of Vilnius, as described by Austė Parulytė, an artist, graphic designer, and illustrator who grew up there, is characterized by four distinct aspects - industrial, cultural, natural, and religious. Through our conversation, Austė shared insights and memories about Jeruzalė, while also reflecting on broader themes of neighborhoods and urbanism. She emphasized how urbanism, architecture, and district dynamics influence my design and artistic practice."
