The exhibition "MAMA "Mother Earth'" will be on view at Zuzeum Art Museum from May 26 until August 30. Bringing together artists from different countries, the exhibition presents works that address ecological transformation, cultural memory, and the fragile balance between human activity and planetary life. MAMA ‘Mother Nature’ is conceived as a global artistic platform reflecting on the interconnectedness of culture, environment, and collective responsibility. The project was first introduced at the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku in 2024 in the context of the COP29 climate conference and has since evolved into an international initiative presented in major cultural capitals including Manama, Rome, London, Tbilisi, Berlin, Tirana, and Geneva.

The Riga edition holds particular significance. Located at the intersection of Baltic cultural heritage and contemporary European discourse, Zuzeum Art Museum offers a setting where environmental reflection and artistic experimentation come together. As home to the Zuzāns Collection, the museum further enriches MAMA ‘Mother Nature’ in Riga through the selected works from the collection, spanning Baltic and international artistic perspectives, including artists such as Andris Eglītis, Klāvs Loris, Ieva Putniņa, Gabriele Adomaityte, Kris Lemsalu, Donna Huanca, Tala Madani, and Simphiwe Ndzube. Within this framework, the exhibition becomes both a visual and intellectual experience, inviting visitors to engage with nature as a living system shaped by memory, vulnerability, and resilience.

Organised in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Republic of Latvia, the exhibition reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the cultural dialogue between Azerbaijan and Latvia. Rooted in decades of diplomatic relations and expanding economic cooperation, this collaboration highlights the importance of cultural exchange as a space for mutual understanding and international engagement.
