Exhibition "In the framework of the eternity of nature" of the folk applied art studio "Rītausma" of the cultural center "Iļguciems".

The exhibition gathers the latest works of TLMS "Rītausma" participants, which were created while thinking about the constant rhythm of nature, which is beyond human power to disrupt.

The participants say about the theme of the exhibition and the created works: "Each of us has our own story about the connection with nature. About the seasons, about life with flowers, fruits, pink leaves and snow. About the endless course of the sun, about the turbulence of the waters and the songs of the birds. It can be memories of bright childhood mornings, the soft smell of a flower bed or the wet nose of a dog you met by chance in the park. We all are from Riga. The rhythm of the gray bricks of the opposite house can also give impetus to some unprecedented work. It's a story about ourselves."
