Opening of Inta Ruka’s exhibition: film screening and guided tour with the artist, director, and curator.
“Places Called Home” 13 March, 18:30
Fotografiska presents “Places Called Home”, a new exhibition by Latvian photographer Inta Ruka.
Between 1983 and 2008, Ruka photographed people across Latvia in their homes, yards and streets. Spaces where everyday life unfolds. Returning to the same individuals over time, she worked slowly, allowing trust to grow. The result is more than documentary photography: it is a portrait of place, relationships and belonging.
The exhibition brings together over 80 works from two series, forming a quiet yet powerful narrative of Latvia in transition. Internationally curated, the world premiere takes place in Tallinn. One of the series, “My Country’s People,” represented Latvia at the 1999 Venice Biennale.
