Riga My Love

Overview

After five years studying in Tallinn, artist Karolina Peterson (aka Kara Popicon) returns to her hometown of Riga. Expecting a fun-filled reunion with the city of her youth, she instead finds herself feeling like a stranger in her own native city. With brutal honesty and true emotional openness, Kara turns the camera on herself, sharing stories of her past while joining a series of political protests to reconnect with home. Here, she flexes her creative muscles through bold artistic actions, from handing out balloons to creating five-litre bottles of fake semen, all while striving to rediscover her true self.
