The ISSP Riga residency provides an opportunity for concentrated work on a personal research or photography-related art project informed by interaction with Riga and its residents. We welcome photographers and artists interested in exploring the local social and cultural context, connecting to the ISSP platform of activities, and exploring the vibrant Riga culture life and Latvian wild nature and traditions.
Since the start of the continuing Russian invasion in Ukraine, photographer Alexander Gronsky has been offering his photographs shot in Moscow during the time of the ongoing war. The limited edition prints are offered in exchange for at least 150 € donation to any relief organization working in Ukraine. The initiative is implemented with logistical support of ISSP.

No 23. augusta līdz 24. oktobrim ISSP Galerijā būs skatāma Zanes Priedes izstāde “Marmoleum Real 2mm”, kas balstīta autores personīgajā pieredzē, uzaugot 1990. gadu vidē un estētikā.
