Create remarkable light ornaments!

The interactive multimedia installation invites you to paint with light. Just as the name implies, Festival visitors will be able to decorate St. Peter’s Church facade with at least 98 different paintings. This is a light art installation whose creative products will be visible the moment that they are created.

These light paintings will be created from Latvian folklore articles and amulets; which symbolize our cultural history’s inheritance. Festival participants will be able to create articles and amulets representative of today’s age. By creating unique combinations from these articles and amulets different artistic creations will emerge, each as unique as the individual who made it. Background music will infuse this creative process with hightened senses and experiences.
