Marija Griniuk, a performance artist from Kaunas, Lithuania, working in Finland and Norway, will present her latest work “Transcorporal Site and Action” at the Startelpa Performance Festival in Riga. The performance will take place on Sunday, June 18th at 22:00 at the second floor of the Art Academy of Latvia, in front of the integrated stained glass windows.

The performance will explore the connection between art, personal experience, and technology.
