Exhibition. Raimonds Staprāns. The Architecture of Silence

О событии

The emergence of exile art was caused by the outcome of World War II, which triggered a wave of migration. In the Baltics – Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia – hundreds of thousands of citizens, fleeing the front and the approaching hostilities and the expected renewed occupation by the Red Army, decided to head west as refugees. People fled Bolshevik terror and deportations, such as those experienced in 1941. Among the refugees was Raimonds Staprāns’ family.
