This year’s RIXC Festival will delve into the “plant intelligence" theme, exploring ideas such as “learning like a plant” amidst the ongoing climate crises and the still scarcely unfolded relations between natural and artificial intelligence. Curated by Raitis Smits and Yvonne Volkart, the exhibition is a collaboration with the SNSF-funded project “Plants_Intelligence” (2022–2025), while the workshops and performances are co-organized with "Resonances of Nature" project by Goethe-Institut Riga and French Institute in Latvia.
