Abstracts and lecturers biographies.pdfThe framework of the 2018 Summer School is ‘contemporary geographies’ – the visible and invisible boundaries, including the social and cultural boundaries, transformation processes and experiences, which often do not match with the national and political geographies. ‘Other’ geographical categories are used to study such processes and experiences, constructing and deconstructing knowledge from the most varied fields merging objective and subjective perspectives. In these changing circumstances art is also involved to create common knowledge, understanding and perception fields.
The working language of the Summer School is English.
Deadline for applications: 27 June 2018.
Partners: Kuldīga Artist Residency and Art Academy of Latvia
Finansial supporters: Kuldiga District Municipality, State Culture Capital Foundation, Kuldīga Artist Residency and European Union's Erasmus+ programme
