A collection of sailing ships in Roja

Laimonis and Ilga Veidemanis lived in Roja 20 or 30 years ago.  They were deaf and loved to produce models of sailing ships of various sizes.  This was based on a dream about the big ships of their ancestors and the wide seas upon which the couple could not sail.  The models are very precise, designed with much care and love.  The couple never learned the secrets of ship models, but their collection has been inherited by Laimonis’ granddaughter, who wants to display the wonderful collection and her grandfather’s careful work to the public.  The hostess welcomes visitors and tells her story about how the models were produced. (Source: Roja TIC)

Suiti meeting places – Alsunga, Gudenieki, Jurkalne

The environmental object “SUITI MEETING PLACE” was established during an international arts plénière in Jūrkalne, and the originator of the idea was the musician Igo.  Sculptor Ivars Miķelsons with assistants Didzis Grodzs and Juris Krafts produced the environmental object.  The idea of marking out the Suiti cultural space among Gudenieki, Alsunga and Jūrkalne in nature began in 2013, when the first Suiti meeting place was established where the Gudenieki-Ēdole and Alsunga-Basi roads cross.  The second meeting place was established the next year where the Kuldīga-Alsunga-Jūrkalne road crosses the town in the direction of Jūrkalne past the Alsunga centre.  The third Suiti meeting place was established in Jūrkalne.  The objects were established in partnership with local governments and landowners by the “Vēju sēta” association.

Verein "Wasserzeichen", das Wiesenmuseum in Kaldabruṇa

Im Dorf Kaldabruna im Bezirk Jekabpils hat sich in den Räumen des Wirtschaftsgebäudes der ehemaligen Schule Kaldabruna jetzt die Gesellschaft „Ūdenszīmes“ („Wasserzeichen“) niedergelassen. Hier wurde ein bis dato in Lettland nicht gesehener Ort für Kunst eröffnet: die Galerie in der Scheune. Im Wiesenmuseum ist die Ausstellung im Sinne eines in der Folklore häufig zu findenden Gleichnisses gestaltet, indem man sich auf Lebensabschnitte von Menschen bezieht, sehen Sie hier eine Exposition von Gräsern, von Lichtobjekten der Kindheit, den Gürtel der Kaldabruner Mara in einer hohlen Eiche, Zauberkranz, Mitgiftkranz, geschützte und seltene Pflanzen. 

Der Gürtel der Mara von Kaldabruna bzw. Mara Krievane ist eines der bedeutendsten kulturellen und historischen Objekte der Region, ein einzigartiges ethnographisches Zeugnis. Die Symbolik des Gürtels besteht aus 52 Elementen von denen 36 Variationen der Swastika (des traditionellen Feuersymbols) sind; gleichwertiges Material gibt es de facto nicht in der lettischen Ethnographie, am ehesten vergleichbar wäre das große Wolltuch aus Stameriena, auf dem 19 verschieden Varianten zu finden sind. Der Gürtel ist im Prinzip wie ein Zopf geflochten bestehend aus gelben und blauen Mustern, wobei an den Rändern noch rot und grün verwendet werden, die Enden sind teils kompliziert mit Perlen und Quasten besetzt. Bisher gab es keine authentische Kopie, die der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gewesen wäre. Auch im digitalen Raum war dieses Einzelstück nicht einsehbar. Das Original des Gürtels wurde Ende des 19. Jh. von Māra Krievāne aus dem Hof „Mačulāni“ in Kaldabruna an Volkskundler übergeben worden und gelangte in das Lettische Geschichtsmuseum, wo man auch die einzige bisher bekannte authentische Kopie besichtigen kann. Die Erläuterung der Symbolik finden man im Buch „Latvju Raksti“ („Lettische Symbole“).
