 <\/p>\n

16:00\u201318:00 Krista Vindberga-Auzniece’s workshop<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Led by the artist, this charcoal drawing and archival photo collage workshop is devoted to exploring personal, family, or found visual archives, sketching, and transferring them onto canvas. Participants will explore how to arrange and layer found stories and retell them by redrawing, retouching, and reimagining.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

19:00 and 21:00 Soprano Liene Kin\u010da performs <\/span><\/b>“Liebestod,” the third-act composition from Richard Wagner’s opera “Tristan und Isolde.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

24:00 <\/span><\/b>At the event’s <\/span>culmination, at midnight on September 5, visitors are invited to take a piece of the blooming garden installation home with them<\/span><\/b>, taking on further care of the flowers as a personal continuation of the work, allowing the installation to live on beyond its close.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Krista Vindberga-Auzniece on the event’s central object, the public installation:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“O, DZIEDI MANI” <\/span><\/b>(O, Sing to Me) brings together strict geometric form with living, fragile, and transient matter. In Kim?’s courtyard, a square of white chrysanthemums becomes a temporary garden in the city center. Here, minimalist clarity meets the baroque abundance of flowers, while the fixed form is subjected to time, weather, care, and decay.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Above the flowers, sung words from Richard Wagner’s opera “Tristan und Isolde” transform the courtyard into an emotionally charged space. The opera’s passionate language is conveyed through technical and mechanical devices, creating tension between the living and the artificial, the intimate and the monumental, the individual voice and cultural memory. The subtitle machines become a kind of operatic karaoke mechanism, allowing visitors not only to watch, but also to step into a character’s place, reading, singing, or silently following the text. In this way, the opera is lifted out of its usual space of representation and becomes more accessible, dissolving the distance between monumental cultural heritage and individual experience.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Krista Vindberga-Auzniece<\/span><\/b> (b. 1989) is a visual artist working across a range of media and scales, from small-format, carefully crafted drawings to large-scale scenographic solutions for theater and opera productions. She holds a BA from the Painting Department of the Art Academy of Latvia and an MA in Visual Communication.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Liene Kin\u010da<\/span><\/b> studied singing under Margarita Gruzdeva, graduating from the Latvian Academy of Music in 2006 in Sergejs Martinovs’s class. She has further developed her vocal skills with Ir\u0113na Milkevi\u010dute, Ingr\u012bda Kaizerfelde, David Jones, and others. Liene Kin\u010da currently continues refining her vocal skills with Kirsten Sch\u00f6ttl-Dreier.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
