On December 5 at 16:00, the exhibition “Geoprocesses” opened at the Ogre History and Art Museum. This multidisciplinary art and research project explores the landscapes of the Ogre region, their historical layers, and human impact on nature through visual and spatial narratives. Geoprocesses are natural phenomena that significantly influence the formation of the Earth’s surface. The exhibition raises questions about how human activity intensifies, alters, or slows down these processes, and how such changes are reflected in the landscapes we inhabit.
Special attention is given to five elements — wood, peat, subsoil, soil, and water — which reveal both everyday human needs and the natural processes shaping the ecosystems in which we live. How have we transformed our environment over the centuries? Is it possible to achieve a balance between the use of natural resources?
The exhibition “Geoprocesses” invites visitors to view the environment beyond conventional perceptions — as a dynamic, living system in which humans are only one of the participants.
The exhibition concept was created by designer and environmental communication researcher Mg. art. Ance Janevica. Her master’s thesis focused on the challenges of environmental communication, analysing public attitudes and the role of design in addressing environmental issues. Ance Janevica’s work has received international recognition and has been exhibited in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Taiwan, China, the United Kingdom, and Latvia.
The exhibition is open to visitors from Dedember 5, 2025 until March 1, 2026 On the opening day of the exhibition, admission is free.
