Since 2020, Bagdžiūnaitė has been working as a cultural worker at Kaunas Artists’ House, where she has curated interdisciplinary conceptual politically and socially charged programs of various events and exhibitions. In 2024, she initiated the “Dream Belly-Up (Dog or Fish?)” program, which explores the multifaceted nature of sadness through exhibitions, performative art, and educational events.
