Join ISSP for a new series of English-language events: Photowalks around Riga neighborhoods! Together with the best Latvian photographers, we invite you to explore and learn more about Riga's local neighborhoods through the lens.
Registration is now open for ISSP Photowalk No. 1 - Āgenskalns with Reinis Hofmanis on Sunday, 13 October, 11:15 - 15:00. Meeting point - Āgenskalna tirgus
Our first Photowalk will be led by talented Latvian photographer Reinis Hofmanis, who will take us on a journey through his favourite streets and hidden corners of Āgenskalns. The walk will start at Āgenskalns market with a small presentation of Reinis' work and approach to photography, continued by exploring the district together. We will wrap up the day with reflections and conversation over coffee. We have also invited a very special guest from Āgenskalns: quantum physicist and philosopher Professor Mārcis Auziņš will join us and share his insights on the district and the universe.
The event is open to anyone interested in photography, discovering the city, new experiences, and meeting like-minded people. Bring your digital camera, or phone with a camera.
The language of the photowalk is English. Long-term residents of the city, visitors and locals are all welcome!
Number of participants is limited. Participation contribution: 15 - 30 EUR (sliding scale, depending on your opportunities). All revenue will support the ISSP public education programme.
