About us
Arterritory is an independent art and culture platform exploring how art and ideas reflect and shape societal change across the Baltic and Nordic region. Through interviews, essays, and long-form dialogue, it connects regional perspectives with global conversations on culture, knowledge, and perception.
Published in Latvian and English since 2011, Arterritory brings together artists, thinkers, curators, and cultural practitioners, creating a space for exchange across disciplines and viewpoints. Rooted in Northern Europe and internationally oriented, the platform approaches culture not only as a field of artistic production but as a way of understanding the world.
Dialogue is at the core of Arterritory’s approach, a method of inquiry grounded in listening, curiosity, and openness. Through conversations, the platform explores artistic thought, cultural processes, and the ideas shaping contemporary society, tracing how creative practices respond to social, technological, ecological, and philosophical questions.
Over more than a decade, Arterritory has built an extensive archive of conversations and reflections, forming a living record of how artists and thinkers have imagined the present and the future. This ongoing dialogue reflects a belief that culture is a field of knowledge evolving through interpretation and shared experience.
Alongside artistic and intellectual discourse, Arterritory also explores questions of perception, inner experience, and ways of knowing that shape how we understand reality, reflecting an openness to culture as a space where material, social, and experiential perspectives meet.
Guided by editorial independence and intellectual curiosity, the platform creates a meeting place where professionals and audiences alike can encounter new ideas, engage in meaningful conversations, and discover connections across cultural contexts.
Through dialogue and reflection, Arterritory continues to explore the evolving landscape of contemporary culture and its role in shaping our shared future.
Arterritory.com is developed with the support of the association 'Mākslas platforma'.
