Looking at Rīga
Jānis takes Runā Rīga on a tour of visual and intellectual textures. Some of the places inspire him. Other places anger him. The walk gives us a small glimpse of Jānis'artistic process and the act of looking.

Staff notes
Can I get everywhere on foot?
Only if a marathon is your idea of a short walk.

Frankly, we don't know. We asked Jānis to give us a tour, becasue he's an incredibly interesting person with an interesting way of looking at things.
