From 10 to 22 March 2025, Daugavpils hosted the 13th International Latgale Graphic Art Symposium—a key event in the region’s cultural calendar and the most important international gathering dedicated to the graphic arts in Latgale. The symposium was initiated and organized by SIVIA, in collaboration with the Rothko Museum.
Over two weeks, selected artists worked in the museum’s printmaking studios, exploring traditional and experimental techniques while drawing inspiration from the local landscape and history. This year’s participants, chosen by an expert jury, represented eight countries:
Ana Vivoda (Croatia), Anatolijs Šandurovs (Latvia), Antonia-Styliani Taralli (Greece), Caterina De Nisco and Michele Bernardini (Italy), Martyna Rzepecka and Łukasz Koniuszy (Poland), Lilli-Krõõt Repnau (Estonia), Sioban Piercy (Ireland), and Sirkku Ketola (Finland).
The symposium concluded with a public exhibition opening on 21 March at the Rothko Museum, showcasing the results of this intense and inspiring creative exchange.
Supported by Daugavpils City Council, Latvia’s State Culture Capital Foundation, Caparol, and Devona.
