Contemporary art exhibition "Ghosts of Impossible Present"

The contemporary art exhibition "Ghosts of Impossible Present" addresses ecologically traumatised environments and their interaction with humans. The Baltic region is full of silent witnesses – ghosts resulting from ill-considered industrialization, extraction economy, and political mistakes, as well as from Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine. The exhibition invites us to listen to these testimonies. The mentioned ghosts are not just a metaphor.

In the exhibition, artists from Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia – Linda Boļšakova, Liene Pavlovska, Līva Dudareva, Eglė Budvytytė, Kristina Õllek and Elo-Reet Järv –  offer an associative perspective on the ghosts of our shared ecosystem in the exhibition. Curator: Solvita Krese.
