30 September 2011 was organized academic conference  "M.K. Čiurlionis and Sofija Čiurlionienė-Kymantaitė".  Organizer: assoc. prof. dr. Solveiga Daugirdaitė, Vilnius University Gender Studies Centre. M.K. Čiurlionis and Sofija Kymantaitė formed part of the newly emerged cultural phenomenon in Lithuania at the beginning of the 20th century, a marriage of two equal and equally educated individuals. Sofija Kymantaitė, who returned Čiurlionis to the Lithuanian culture and who did much to perpetuate his heritage, is often thought of as an "unequal talent" to that of her husband's. The conference strives to look at the two creative people together, as united by common objectives, ideals,and influenced by the ideas of the beginning of the 20th century.
