Latvian Design Buzzes Again: Tactile Baltics Showcases Heritage and Tech
After a decade-long hiatus, the world of Latvian graphic design is buzzing again with the Tactile Baltics exhibition in Liepāja. Running until 3 September, this showcase combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, exploring themes of identity, ecology, and cultural heritage through the work of 19 designers from Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.
The last major Latvian graphic design exhibition, Design Manifestation, took place 10 years ago. Since then, the graphic design scene has evolved, and Tactile Baltics aims to keep the momentum going. Milan Design Week, the world's biggest graphic design event, was the target for promoting Baltic graphic design. However, it's crucial to showcase achievements at home, particularly in Liepāja, where the exhibition is currently taking place.
The exhibition features designers who delve into their personal experiences and cultural roots, creating pieces that evoke emotion and tell stories. This emotional touch, combined with a reverence for materiality, gives Baltic graphic design its unique Nordic signature. The exhibition aims to prevent the fading of these designers' names and achievements from public memory, ensuring Latvia's place on the world graphic design map.
Tactile Baltics, the largest Baltic contemporary graphic design exhibition to date, is a testament to the region's creative prowess. By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology and exploring themes of identity and heritage, the exhibition offers a unique perspective on Baltic graphic design. The event runs until 3 September in Liepāja, providing a perfect opportunity for locals and visitors alike to appreciate the rich graphic design landscape of the Baltics.
