  Description

  Two years ago life brought me back to my childhood's paradise - my grandparents' farm in the eastern part of Latvia. After passing of my grandmother, the house has lost its original purpose and I decided to give it a second life creating our artistic residency and making it open to creative practitioners. The name of the residency is derived from the Latvian word “elpa,” which translates to “breath.” It symbolises the concept of taking a breath, the act of breathing in and out, and the idea of giving something a second breath.
  
  The place is open to volunteers between April and October when I spend my time there.
