On September 25, the exhibition The Strange, Big Building by Madara Rutkeviča will open in the museum’s Small Exhibition Hall.
Madara Rutkeviča (b. 1988) is a writer and playwright. She studied screenwriting for television, film, and theatre at the Latvian Academy of Culture. The exhibition is dedicated to Lēdmane Primary School, where she was a student.
“In 1997, my family moved to a new home, and I started third grade at Lēdmane Primary School. On my first day, I was seated at the very back of the classroom. My new classmates and the strange, big building frightened me. Throughout the following years, until I graduated from the school in 2003, those irrational fears never really left me.”
