The past week was blessed with spring-like sunny weather, several additional holidays and also various cultural events, most of which were related to the anniversary of the restoration of Latvia’s independence. The series “Music in Riga Palace” continued with the performance of Ilona Bagele and the jazz orchestra “Mirāža”, the 4th of May march “Put on a national costume in honor of Latvia” took place in Old Riga, and the concert “Citādi ceļi” was played in Rātslaukum. Last week, the laureates of the Latvian Literary Award of the Year were also welcomed, the British rapper Dizijs Raksals visited Palladium, and a new pop-up exhibition dedicated to current Latvian design processes was opened at the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design. About these and other cultural events last week – in eight photo galleries.
Arī šogad Rīgas Fotogrāfijas biennāle ir devusies ārpus Rīgas – no 30. aprīļa līdz 31. maijam kultūras centrā “Siguldas devons” apskatāma izstāde “Lai būtu, mums jāsaprot upe”. Trīs Baltijas mākslinieces – Mari Lēna Kīpli (Igaunija), Kotrīna Ūla Kiliulīte (Lietuva), Sabīne Šnē (Latvija) – un izstādes kuratore Inga Brūvere (LV) turpina RFB 2024 tēmu par mūsdienu identitātes jautājumiem, pievēršoties dabai un cilvēkam kā vienam no tās elementiem.

Izstādes “Lai būtu, mums jāsaprot upe” norises vieta – Sigulda – nav nejauša, jo šejienes savdabīgās ainavas ar gleznainajām upes panorāmām un devona laika iežu atsegumiem – smilšakmens kraujām un alām – ir ceļinieku īpaši iemīļotas jau kopš romantisma laikiem 19. gs. Diemžēl 21. gs. runāt par dabu nozīmē nevis baudīt ainavu, nevis cīkstēties ar to, bet runāt par visus apdraudošām klimata pārmaiņām, ekoloģiju, dabas negausīgu patērēšanu ar tehnoloģiju palīdzību, cilvēka un dabas aplamajām attiecībām, kurās Homo sapiens savu ērtību dēļ ignorē visu pārējo sugu izdzīvošanas vajadzības.
