Awakening the earth after its winter sleep, awakening the sleeper after a refreshing night’s rest, awakening the thinker from his metaphysical slumber. But what does it mean to awake in a democracy? Do we already have a clear vision of what it means to live in a democratic society, or do we aspire to “awaken from the democracy dream”?
We invite you to Kuldīga Art House, at the 1905 gada Street 6, on 4 May at 18.00 to talk about our awakening in the Democracy Café – we will focus on the awakening in the broadest sense of the word.
“Democracy Café” is a discussion evening that has been organised in Kuldīga for the fifth year now and, as usual, it involves talks and discussions at café tables with previously undisclosed counterparts, hosted by secret guests, on subjects that are not known in advance.
Organised by the Kurzeme NGO Centre in cooperation with the foundation “Democracy Foundation”.
On July 9, a unique event “A Cultural Adventure Touching on Rock” will take place at the cultural venue “Pegaza Pagalms” in Liepāja inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the world of Latvian rock music and explore its influence on social change.
In 2027, not only will Liepāja hold the title of European Capital of Culture, but so too will the Portuguese city of Évora. To celebrate this cultural partnership, families attending the Sea Festival are invited to experience a performance by Évora-based puppeteer, creator, and researcher Manuel Costa Dias, titled “Puppets of My Life”.
As the sun reaches its zenith and ancient fires prepare to blaze once more, Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027 invites locals and guests to welcome the magic of the summer solstice with a celebration of Baltic and Nordic unity. On 23 June at 19:30, “Nordic Solstice” will unfold in Seaside Park and on the beach combining solstice traditions, nature rituals and music.
