We would like to remind you that the Liepāja concept “(un)rest” is a comprehensive five-line programme, representing a diversity of genres, to address important topics and issues that are relevant for Liepāja and Europe as a whole.
Each of the five programme lines – “European Dream”, “Port Paradox”, “New Eyes”, “Deliberate Modesty” and “Creative Foresight” – reveals a story closely linked to Liepāja and its connection to Europe.The programme includes conferences, discussions, festivals, events, workshops, creative residencies, project competitions, concerts, performances, art in public space, lectures, hikes, staged outdoor adventures, exhibitions and events in new cultural spaces, downgraded areas and more.
From large-scale events for the masses to medium and small-scale events, we cover all kinds of audiences – from culture connoisseurs to people who have been less familiar with culture in their everyday lives.
We have also focused on people with disabilities and socially vulnerable groups and care that everyone is welcomed.
This seminar is designed for municipalities, cultural organizations, and civil society representatives interested in learning about EU programs “Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values” (CERV) and “Creative Europe” (RE) and their funding opportunities for social and cultural projects.
The exhibition will run until the end of May, gathering a selection of established and emerging artists from Liepāja and Latvia, who will reflect on pressing contemporary issues while spotlighting the potential of unconventional venues in the city as platforms for contemporary art.
The first round of the “Liepāja 2027” Community Programme has wrapped up, bringing support to 12 different projects. Launched in collaboration with Foundation “Fonds Initium” and backed by the Ministry of Culture and the British Council Representation in Latvia.
