Why does European culture matter?

Dr. Kristina Sabaliauskaitė

Writer, art historian, PhD in Art History

Kristina Sabaliauskaitė is one of Lithuania’s most prominent contemporary writers, an art historian, and a PhD in Art History. What are we really preserving when we restore centuries-old cathedrals and palaces? Why does Europe’s cultural heritage matter not only to Europe but also to the United States and other cultures? How does culture shape not only our moral values but also business ethics? At the LŪŽIO TAŠKAS/TIPPING POINT conference, Sabaliauskaitė and Pascal Prunet, the architect who led the restoration of Notre-Dame Cathedral, explore Europe and pose a fundamental question: can the old continent do more than preserve its history — can it also create the future?
