Baltic Dimensions: Water, Identity, City and Propaganda
Baltic Dimensions is a cross disciplinary symposium connecting different approaches of knowledge and various dimensions of the Baltic sea region. On October 13 and 14, the focus is on the cities of Riga and Mostar.
On October 13, Frances Hsu will bring her students from ARK-E4505 Global Housing and Urbanism Design Studio to participate in the events, organized by Curator Daniel Urey, that will take place at the Fargfabriken Center for Contemporary Art in Stockholm.
