I DRAW RIGA

Façade of the Town Hall
Rātslaukums 1

Each year, the Town Hall building becomes one of the most popular objects of the light festival “Staro Rīga”. This year, the building shows drawings of young Riga locals – children and teenagers – in which they have drawn their native city. Each of us has a different sense of the city – native places, familiar streets, buildings, and parks, the well-known aspects as well as the brand-new ones. No two people see their city exactly the same, everyone associates it with different things, therefore it will be that much more interesting for the visitors of the festival to study the various drawings that come to life on the façade of the Town Hall.

Authors and implementers of the object: Children and teenagers of Riga, UNTITLED studios
