Survival Kit art events
The annual 'Survival Kit' art festival is taking place or the 15th time and breathes life into empty buildings. This year's exhibition takes place at one building in Rīga's old town - Amatu Street 4, and two buidings on the other side of the River Daugava in Pārdaugava - E. Smilģa Street 34a and Strazdu Street 4.
The name of the festival theme this year is "Measures" and this weekend's activities include intriguing-sounding "chirping sessions led by the Flemish artist Myriam van Imschoot".

"This year, we have chosen 'Succession' as the general theme of the festival, and not only to reflect on the coming years of the festival's life, but also to consciously think about the future of our society and each individual," say the organizers.
