Discussion "Lost In Translation. The language of contemporary art in the centre and periphery"

Umeo and Sigulda, along with Riga, became European Cultural Capitals in 2014. What can a small city, its image, inhabitants and guests gain through the activities of contemporary art? How can we accustom and involve citizens in contemporary art?

Discussion with: Jolanta Borīte (Sigulda Municipality), Līga Lindenbauma (Tukums Art Museum), Rasa Šmite (RIXC and Liepājas University), Fanny Carinasdotter and Ida Hansson (Artspace Verkligheten, Umeo), and others.
