Summer workshop at the Art Academy of Latvia

Riga, Latvia


July 20-24, 2026

5 day summer workshop for graphic design students at the Art Academy of Latvia.
Invitation and support by Rūta Jumite.

Funded by the ERASMUS + Mobility

The workshop consisted on a 5 day exploration on walking as practice, food culture, memories, recipes and jelly as a medium. The outcome was a small project that combined the idea of what a recipe can be and the materiality of agar-agar jellies. Students came out with different ways to work with the material, making tasty jellies and recipes that communicated their own personal narratives.
