Liepāja’s 400th birthday will not be celebrated with a single event, but rather with a year-long versatile and engaging programme of activities and events.
The “Liepāja 2027” team will present the strategy of the European Capital of Culture 2027 project.
The motto is “Resources for Everyone.”
During European Heritage Days from the 8th to the 10th of September, more than 60 cultural heritage sites will be open to visitors all across Latvia.
The project “CreArt 3.0 #stringing_together” will include capacity building and mobility activities for civic organizations, artist residencies, and plenty of multicultural events.
The Liepāja Theatre opens its 117th season with the production “Svešā āda” /Alien Skin/ directed by Inga Krasovska and based on the novel “Krieva āda” /Russian Skin/ by Dace Rukšāne.
On 10 August, during a visit to the state city of Liepaja, President Edgars Rinkēvičs assumed the patronage of Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027.
In 2024 Bodo will establish five art spots – platforms for art – that enter into dialogue with a city and a society undergoing change.
The status opens up doors to communicate and represent the values of Liepāja Restoration Centre at European level, participating in all the activities of the project, collaborating with other involved partners, and initiating various activities related to the European Green Deal.
Liepāja’s pavilion will be shaped like a giant sandbox with real sand from Liepāja beach, featuring activities for both adults and children.
