About this Event
This year, La Biennale di Venezia’s decision to permit the participation of Russian and Israeli pavilions has sparked urgent questions about cultural narratives.
Taking place during the closing days of Biennale Arte 2026, the cross-Baltic performance and discussion programme Solidarity in Flux questions the lessons learned about solidarity and highlights the importance of shared resilience.
It advances conversations on power, truth, and institutional accountability while examining the forms and limits of collective action in today's fragmented geopolitical landscape.
Solidarity in Flux is initiated by the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art (LCCA) in collaboration with a number of other leading Baltic art institutions—the Estonian Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA) and National Gallery of Art (NDG) in Lithuania.
Programme highlights
The programme features three Baltic artists: Jana Jacuka will share a fragment from HA, a solo performance exploring the performativity of laughter and extreme vocal practices; Agnė Bagdžiūnaitė’s The Remainder bridges archival storytelling and live performance, engaging with themes of memory, identity, and transition; and Maria Wrang-Rasmussen’s cooking demonstration and love letter How Hard and Sweet, This Taste of Flesh uses the recipe as a performance score, addressing the delightful and irrational nature of desire through a process of transformation.
The performance programme will be extended by a panel discussion with speakers from the Baltics and Central and Eastern Europe: Eglė Grėbliauskaitė, Corina Oprea, Natala Sielewicz, and Peter Sit.
The full programme will be available soon at www.lcca.lv.
