A creative project titled 'The Sēlija Code' has wrapped up in Jēkabpils Municipality, built on the idea that traditional folk costume can serve not only as a link to the past but also as a source of inspiration for new art.
Searching for Sēlija's identity
Participants in the project set out to answer the question of what truly defines the Sēlija region and its cultural identity. Their explorations resulted in bold, contemporary pieces of wearable art rooted in the heritage of traditional folk costume, reimagined through a modern lens.
Works now open to the public
