R\u012bga Central Market, between the Dairy and Delicatessen pavilion<\/em><\/p>\n

M\u0101ras Mielasts<\/em> (Feast of Mara) is a video\/sound installation based on pre-made visualisations combined with sound landscapes produced on site. M\u0101ra makes it possible to observe M\u0101ras Feast<\/em>, prepared from Latvian fruit and vegetables available at the market. The fertility of our land, M\u0101ra\u2019s eternal repast, is our true survival kit without which life would not be possible. Everyone is invited to M\u0101ras Feast.\u00a0<\/em> M\u0101ra is\u00a0the pagan goddess, guardian of the fertility of our land, wishes to remind us that fertility is a great gift to our land, as is also the hard work of many \u2018invisible\u2019 people; very rarely in the limelight -their involvement in the transformation of the energy of fertility.
\nThe market is a living intersection where M\u0101ra lays her tables, a place where city dwellers learn about their land. Trading has not yet been replaced by shopping, communication and long-term relationships between market traders and customers give each of us our own, personal taste of Latvia. Unnoticed in the hubbub of people, both Latvian and more exotic gardens enter the city, they lean over the tables and the repast can begin, this is no place for silence.<\/p>\n
