Applications are now open for the ISSP Riga photography residency 2025 (May – December)!

Ongoing since 2018, the ISSP Riga Residency provides an opportunity for concentrated work on personal research or photography/art project informed by interaction with Riga and its residents, or much-needed time to rethink and complete ongoing work. We welcome photographers and artists interested in researching and exploring the local social and cultural context and connecting to ISSP platform of activities and other contemporary art and culture actors in Latvia.

We encourage knowledge exchange and are happy to support any topical interactions with local photographic/artistic community, our students, teenagers, or other local inhabitants.

In 2025, the residency programme is run in collaboration with two Latvian contemporary culture organisations – kuš! komikss and TUR telpa. The residency apartment will thus be shared with other comics artists or visual artists. The residency is supported by the State Culture Capital Programme.
