White Night programme

As part of the Contemporary Culture Forum "White Night" programme, on September 7th, 2024, Survival Kit 15 will offer a special programme of events – "Night Measures" – at two festival addresses - Amatu Street 4 and E. Smiļģa Street 34a. 

Survival Kit 15 exhibition “Measures” is open from 18.00 until 23.00 at all three festival venues –Amatu Street 4, E. Smiļģa Street 34a, and Strazdu Street 4. 

20.00-20.30

21.30-22.00

23.00-23.30

In this workshop, participants will focus on the role of posters in Riga's urban environment and the development of poster design in Latvia, looking at various examples. After that, under the guidance of the artist Luīze Rukšāne, children will create their own posters - tributes to any room at the venue of the Survival Kit exhibition at Amatu Street 4. By making posters and pasting them on the walls, we will reflect on the history of the building, the possible future, as well as offer our own versions of what needs to be added to the premises.

In the poster workshop, we will learn how to make glue from simple kitchen ingredients, which we will later use to stick posters to the walls.

The program is created by the youth of the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art Volunteer Program.
