Testimonial
“I had a mountainous time on the Kuš! Comics Residency and was once unhappy to
leave. It was once a trusting and begin-ended working diagram, very grand
self-directed, that allowed me the distance to work while providing me with
probabilities to ogle and attach with the humanities scene in Riga. Having not completed
a residency sooner than I essentially most in vogue that freedom. Nearly each
evening of my preserve something essentially spirited was once going on at spaces
in the metropolis ranging from underground bars to the extra progressive
gallery spaces. The work I made there was once indubitably inflected by what I
saw and who I met in a manner that there essentially is just not any change for.
The
accommodation itself was once beneficiant, I had loads of working space and
the home was once wisely looked after. Grocery stores, art presents, cafes
and cheap food spots had been proper a instant time tear away, as was once the tram
into the metropolis (even though I usually realized it seemingly to tear in each single feature I
desired to cross). It was once the very most spirited feature to be shacked up, even in the
notoriously chilly Latvian winter.
Total I beloved it, 10/10! Paddle if you happen to can.”
