SUMMARY:The Riga Photography Biennial 2026
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Riga Photography Biennial is an international contemporary art event, focusing on the analysis of visual culture and artistic representation. The term ‘photography’ in the title of the biennial is used as an all-embracing concept encompassing a mixed range of artistic image-making practices that have continued to transform the lexicon of contemporary art in the 21st century.\nThe biennial covers issues ranging from cultural theory to current socio-political processes in the Baltics and the wider European region. Using the format of an art festival, Riga Photography Biennial attempts to record changes taking place all over the world and invites us to collectively interpret them – something we not only need to see but also imagine whilst translating the complicated and oversaturated contemporary visual language into meaningful relationships between our daily reality, the camera lens, historic material, contemporary art, technologies and the future. How has our understanding of photography and image changed because of digital technologies, and how does it manifest itself in the work of art? For the organisers of the biennial these are important questions to present and analyse, whilst at the same time introducing Latvian audiences to leading works of international art as well as the ideas of prominent art theoreticians presented in the form of symposiums, discussions and publications in parallel with exhibitions and performances. The first Riga Photography Biennial took place in 2016.\nThis year, the Riga Photography Biennial is taking place for the fifth time, and, continuing to follow the development of image culture, the programme of the Riga Photography Biennial 2024 focuses on issues of identity – a range of existential questions, including the impact of technology on human nature, the relationship between man and nature, as well as the informative code of the contemporary image.\n\nLink: www.rpbiennial.com/index.html ( https://www.rpbiennial.com/index.html )\n
