On 10 July, the fifteenth Cēsis Art Festival, dedicated to myths and rituals, was open to the public. On the opening day, the Cēsis Centre for Contemporary Art launched a vast exhibition “Flying Closer to the Sun. Myths and Rituals” showcasing seven new large-scale works by Latvian artists. Later, in Raiskumkrogs we experienced opening of exhibition “Whole” by “SEB Scholarship in Painting 2020” Laureate Madara Kvēpa. In the evening visitors could enjoy a sound and motion act “Danse macabre” (“The Dance of Death”), created by composer Edgars Mākens and artist Krišs Salmanis.


Exhibition “Flying Closer to the Sun. Myths and Rituals” introduce us with new works from renowned Latvian artists: Aija Zariņa, Miķelis Fišers, Andris Eglītis, Ģirts Muižnieks, Krista and Reinis Dzudzilo, Katrīna Neiburga and Vika Eksta.


Exhibition “Whole” in Raiskuma krogs by “SEB Scholarship in Painting 2020” Laureate Madara Kvēpa. The author focuses on the concepts of physical health and mental integrity. These ideas are covered in a series of paintings and spatial objects, taking into account last year's pandemics, as well as historical and ritual contexts.


In the evening visitors were able to enjoy sound and motion performance “Danse macabre” (“The Dance of Death”) inviting the viewers into a world of unusual soundscapes and visual effects. The puppet ballet, Death with an electric guitar, the musical saw, the mystery of sound and the burlesque of movement – just like in the olden days when the dance of death was a societal mechanism for blowing off steam. The creator of the choreography for the show is Rūdolfs Gediņš.

집이라는 편안한 공간에서 받으니 효과가 두 배는 더 좋은 것 같아요. 피로가 누적된 분들이나 시간 여유가 없는 직장인분들에게 적극 추천해 드리고 싶습니다. 요즘 야근이 많아 몸이 천근만근이었는데 평택출장마사지 덕분에 제대로 힐링했습니다.

Finding a trustworthy cook can be helpful for families, gatherings, and occasions where preparing meals becomes difficult. Different households have different requirements, so comparing available choices makes sense. People searching locally can explore Bawarchi in Lahore to learn about relevant service options.

When I started my freelance photography gig, I assumed a nice Instagram page would be enough. It wasn't. I was getting likes but zero actual bookings in my city. I decided to invest in a local seo service to target couples looking for wedding shoots nearby. They optimized my site for city-specific keywords and helped me show up on the map. I am finally shooting weddings in my own area instead of traveling.
