USEFUL INFORMATION BEFORE VISITING ACCESSIBILITY

We invite visitors to learn more about environmental accessibility across the Decolonial Ecologies exhibition, on show at the premises of Rīga Art Space on Kungu iela 3, Old Rīga. 

There are thirteen artworks on display, and they’re all visual – photos, paintings, drawings, graphic artworks, videos, objects and installations. Some of them feature an audio component as well. You are advised to set aside at least an hour to see the entire exhibition. 

We find it important that the exhibition be accessible to everyone. That’s why we have prepared the following:

· An accessibility description

· Guided tours with the participation of art mediators

· Artwork descriptions in simple language, along with an audio guide

· Free entry for people with disabilities and their support persons

Accessibility description for people with reduced mobility

There are two disabled parking spaces opposite the exhibition hall. There’s an accessible toilet in the building. We are sorry to say that the elevator in the Rīga Art Space is out of order. We therefore offer alternative ways of accessing the exhibition. 


For entry in a wheelchair, or if mobility issues prevent one from using the stairs, please consider the following options:

1) Access through the main entrance of Rīga Art Space (Kungu iela 3), using a portable wheelchair lift suitable for manual wheelchairs. To get inside, please use the side door of the main entrance. Then call the provided number to receive assistance in getting down the stairs.

2) Through the Rīga City Hall building (the main entrance of the Rīga City Hall, Rātslaukums 1). Our staff will accompany you through the main entrance of the Rīga City Hall. Using a lift, you will arrive at an elevator. Use it to get to the basement floor. Down there, you will have to ascend rather steep ramps. Our trained staff will gladly provide help should you need any.

For entry with a stroller, please use the side doors of the Rīga City Hall and call the provided number. Staff will accompany you to the elevator.

Accessibility description for people with visual impairments

Artwork descriptions can be emailed upon request. Please contact mara@lcca.lv for this. We suggest using the audio guide, which is available on your smartphone, or a tablet you can borrow at the ticket office. 

We invite you to experience the exhibition in the company of an art mediator, available upon prior appointment. Artwork descriptions are available digitally as well. You’re very much welcome to visit with your seeing-eye companion.

The guided visits are led by art mediators. These are people of all ages and walks of life, and they have both theoretical and practical experience. In talking with the visitors, they help people notice connections between different works of art, promote independent reflection and discovery, as well as expand one’s views about contemporary art. Mediators are on-site at the exhibition workdays 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and weekends 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
