As part of the long-awaited comeback of the Riga Last Thursdays gallery evening on 30 October, we invite you to a special curator's tour of our latest exhibition 'Between Memory, Place, and Matter' by Italian visual artist Sara Palmieri!
Through experimental analogue processes and sculptural reinventions, Palmieri unveils the hidden histories embedded in buildings, surfaces, and territories – inviting us to reflect on memory, belonging, identity, and loss.
Curator of the exhibition Kamila Kūna will be on site from 6:00 to 8:00 PM to share her insights about the exhibition.
Free Entrance!

The exhibition ‘Between Memory, Space, and Matter' by Sara Palmieri, on view till November 20 at the ISSP Gallery, explores the intersections of place, material, and collective experience.
Sara Palmieri (Italy, 1974) is a visual artist, curator, and lecturer based in Rome. Trained as an architect at La Sapienza University, she later shifted her focus to photography, using it to explore time, memory, and materiality. Her work has been shown internationally at Kunsthalle Darmstadt, Istanbul Biennial, PhMuseum Days, Matèria Gallery, Fotohaus ParisBerlin, and more. Her latest book, The Line of Water, was published in March 2025.
