\u201cLiep\u0101ja 2027<\/a>\u201d is inviting two performance artists of younger generation from the CreArt Network to participate in the Liep\u0101ja AiR residency from June 16th to July 17th, 2025. During their stay, the artists will engage in a diverse cultural program designed to expand their understanding of the city and its surrounding region. The expected outcome of the residency is a community-engaging site-specific performative work. The outcomes of the residency will become part of the “Agora of Values” public program organized by Liep\u0101ja 2027<\/p>\n

The “Agora of Values” project is a series of five forums that form the core of the\u00a0“European Dream”\u00a0<\/a>section of the “Liep\u0101ja 2027” program. By bringing together prominent experts from Latvia and Europe, the forums will combine contemporary debates on issues important for Latvia, Europe, and the planet, innovative knowledge exchange formats, diverse audience engagement, and artistic elements that will enrich a wide range of discursive events with a comprehensive aesthetic experience.<\/p>\n

The first Agora will take place in the year 2025.\u00a0 At the core of the forum’s idea is the widely accepted principle in modern environmental studies that nature and culture must be seen as an inseparable network of relations \u2013 natureculture \u2013 beyond the entrenched opposition that still exists in our minds, attitudes, and institutions. From the anthropocentric view characteristic of the early modern era, which saw humans as the crown of creation and rightful users of nature, we have arrived at a posthumanist vision of humanity as one species among many. Nature\u2019s agency, as the core of the forum\u2019s concept, allows for the exploration of a vast array of topics \u2013 from renewable energy to plant intelligence \u2013 and for articulating scenarios of harmonious and non-hierarchical coexistence between humans, nature, and other species. The discussions of the forum will engage with relevant theoretical perspectives in ecological thinking, such as hydrofeminism, new materialism, agential realism, dark ecology etc.<\/p>\n
