We are proud to present the final report of the #R

We are proud to present the final report of the #Ruralcultural.

The rural regions of Europe are faced with complex societal challenges in the 21st century. Today many of these communities experience a vast decline in population, lack of job opportunities and quality of life.

This report aims to improve our approach in how we engage with these rural areas to help them create and enhance their own cultural and social resilience. It does so by adding not-previously-considered methods that helps to distinguish a more nuanced classification of rural communities as well as how the challenges they face differ from one another. The examples used for this examination are the three communities: Ligatne (Latvia), Papile (Lithuania) and Grindsted (Denmark).
This project was carried out from January 2022 until June 2023, with us as lead partner, together with co-partners Vidzemes plānošanas reģions from Latvia and from Lithuania @laimikis.lt The project is supported by the Council of Baltic Sea States Project Support Facility and born from the Interreg BSR project (2019-2021) that created the cultural planning method.

Friday, we went to Luca Bertis Photo exhibition “Nordic Blue”. The pictures portray the Nordic countries, in a new (blue) light, which has been created by the cyanotype method. We also got to see how this process is been done, in a video at the exhibition.

If you also want to see this and learn more about the cyanotype method, the exhibition is open in Tallinn at @dokfotokeskus until 26/11.

Here is one of our recommendations for the weekend

Here is one of our recommendations for the weekend: Go see Luca Bertis’ exhibition ‘Nordic Blue’ from 26/8 (until 26/11) in Tallinn.

In his photo exhibition Luca Berti has created a photo series from Estonia, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden using the cyanotype method. The exhibition examines the connection between human and nature in the globalized world. Come see for yourself and get inspired.

Location:

Telliskivi 60a-5, 10412 Tallinn, Estonia
