During the 2024 Homo Novus festival in Riga, Finnish artist Laura Puska in a public conversation introduced festival guests to her project “URGENT – Residency for Artworks” and to her artistic practice that reflects on the material agency. The discussion was led by Latvian artist and sculptor Gundega Evelone.
In April, participants of the 2025 "Homo Novus" Festival School — poet Māra Ulme and the school's creative producer Samuels Ozoliņš — traveled to Canada to explore, together with "Mammalian Diving Reflex" and local artists, how an idea inspired by Avotu Street resonates with an international audience.
The "Magic Carpets" Lab series, dedicated to working with communities, will bring together ten performing artists. In three workshops in different regions of Latvia, participants will gain theoretical and practical knowledge from experienced mentors and artists to develop their projects.
Join us for the fifth part of the Efficient Fridays webinar series on Friday, March 21st, at 13:00 CET, as we explore Latvia's performing arts scene and discover the innovative work of contemporary Latvian theatre and dance artists.
