The exhibition “Contemporary Histories of Photography I” was on view from May 17 to June 27, 2024, at the ISSP Gallery in Riga, Latvia. Artist Liene Pavlovska, the designer of the exhibition, used several photographs by Zenta Dzividzinska from the series “Riga Pantomime” (1964-1965) to create custom-made cyanotype prints on fabric.
