The vote has started on the light festival “Staro Rīga” participation campaign # Starom light objects, informed the Association of Cultural Institutions of Riga Municipality.
Anyone can vote for the favorite light object until November 24 at 22.00 Homepage, where a selection of light objects, published by both individuals and various institutions with the theme #staromajas on social media networks, is located.
The results will be announced on November 25 on the festival website and on social media profiles.
The participation campaign # Staromājas took place from 16 to 22 November, when the organizers of the light festival “Staro Rīga” invited all Latvians, including employees of institutions and companies, to place photos or videos of their own light design on their social media profiles using the #staromajas theme. . The mentors of the campaign are artists Helēna Heinrihsone, Katrīna Neiburga, Kristians Brekte, Kristaps Ancāns and Miķelis Mūrnieks.
“On behalf of the festival organizers, I can express my greatest gratitude to the participants of the campaign and at the same time admire their responsiveness and ingenuity,” said Diāna Čivle, the artistic director of the festival “Staro Rīga”. “Both the institutions with the lighting of their buildings during the national holidays and individual people with various homemade light objects and designs, not only from Riga, joined the campaign with the theme # in the brilliant social networks. Light and radiation unite us all in this dark time of year. It seems that such an action, not only in today’s limited possibilities, but also in the future can be a part of the festival “Staro Riga” and is a great way to strengthen the common sense of a bright holiday with patriotic self-expression. “
The organizers of the light festival “Staro Rīga” hope for the improvement of the epidemiological situation and meeting with everyone in person at the light festival already at the end of January.
The festival “Staro Rīga” has been moved from the usual mid-November dates to the end of the Latvian centenary program in January 2021 from January 27 to 30. More information about the festival will soon be available on the festival website, as well as on the “Staro Rīga” social media profiles “Facebook” and “Instagram”.
