At the permanent exhibition of the Latvian National Museum of Literature and Music, “Procrastination and Creation,” at Mārstaļu iela 6, Riga, on 21 November at 5:00 p.m., the fourth event in the series, “Future Museum. Pastore,” will take place. It will be an author evening with Luīze Pastore, accompanied by a musical performance by Ernests Pauls Pozemkovskis.
“Future Museum” is a series of six events at the Latvian National Museum of Literature and Music in which six contemporary women authors engage in dialogue with literary history at their author evenings. Choosing as their conversation partners the classics of literature represented in the exhibition “Procrastination and Creation,” or focusing on themes related to the creative process, the authors will seek links between literary history and visions of the future of preserving cultural heritage. The central figures of the series are this year’s jubilarian authors Ingmāra Balode, Elvīra Bloma, Inga Gaile, Luīze Pastore, Madara Gruntmane, and Inga Pizāne.
The central event of each evening is a performance created by the author, in which she interprets the theme of the “future museum,” gives readings, shares her experience, offers creative activities, or surprises the audience with other artistic disciplines. The events are also accompanied by flash exhibitions displaying objects belonging to the authors, which symbolically become possible future museum exhibits.
The musical opening and closing of the event will be provided by students of the Emīls Dārziņš Music School, who, under the guidance of their teacher Andris Dzenītis, will have created new works - pieces inspired by both the poetry of contemporary poets and the works of the classics chosen by them.
The event takes place in the LNRMM permanent exhibition “Procrastination and Creation,” which invites visitors to explore the diversity of writers’ and musicians’ creative processes, revealing the importance of the formation of ideas, doubt, inspiration, and procrastination in creative work.
Tickets can be purchased in the “Mobilly” app and at biletes.rmm.lv. The number of tickets is limited.
