Homo Novus Still Studying
Student vs equation 1:1. Who’s winning?

Laura Jančauska and Krišjānis Elviks
XXX-XXX-XXX. Door to the Unknown
This collaborative work explores the idea of truth and our choice to reveal, hide or turn away from it.

Paulīne Kalniņa
Beyond School
The work is inspired by notes written on the walls of the house on Briāna street, and horizon as a place our knowledge ends.

Nikola Ščadro
Memory Process
The memory net binds us into collective paradigm that defines reality through dimension of time. Remembering proves our existence and belonging. Are we allowed to forget not being forgotten by others?

Madara Mela
Present
Tomas Venclova has said: We know nothing except our past. There is nothing else to think about.” We have to step back in order to move forward.

Kristina Rezvōhh
Between Walls
What would happen if walls would be able to listen and absorb the words, and people would be able to hear through the walls? What would happen if we could actually hear each other?

Toms Jansons
