This week, the Land of (un)rest welcomed British journalists Rudolf Abraham and Trevor Claringbold, who explored Latvia’s rich traditions, people, and multifaceted history with genuine curiosity and enthusiasm.
In Kuldīga, the journalists wandered through its picturesque streets and UNESCO-listed treasures, while in Liepāja they visited the House of Craftsmen, the “Great Amber” concert hall, and enjoyed the fresh sea breeze at the Northern Fort.
Rudolf Abraham specializes in cultural and nature-based travel, focusing on sustainable tourism and discovering lesser-known destinations. His work has appeared in “The Guardian”, “BBC Travel”, “National Geographic Traveller”, and “The Independent”. Trevor Claringbold, meanwhile, writes for “Globetrotter Magazine” — a publication cherished by travel enthusiasts across the United Kingdom.
Together, they will carry the story of the Land of (un)rest out into the world, sharing its hidden gems and inspiring others to discover the charm of Kurzeme.
Special thanks to the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia and the Liepāja Regional Tourism Information Office for their collaboration in organizing the visit!
The FILMLINK project strengthens regional film development in South Estonia and the Liepāja region by fostering cooperation between two film territories. The initiative focuses on enhancing the professional capacity of regional film funds, improving data-based decision-making, and creating stronger cross-border film communities.
From October 27 to November 11, workshops for the project “CreArt Contemporary Art in Schools” continued at Liepāja Rietumkrasts Secondary School. Under the guidance of artist Maija Demitere, students explored one of the oldest photo printing techniques — cyanotype.
