23 July, 16:00

As part of the public programme of the exhibition “HOW ARE YOU TODAY? Emotional intelligence”, we invite you to a lecture by philosopher Kaspars Eihmanis titled “Emotions in Eastern Culture”.

Kaspars Eihmanis (Dr. phil., Chengchi University, Taiwan) is a philosopher with international experience and in-depth knowledge of the history of Buddhist philosophy and theories of consciousness. In addition to his academic work, he is actively engaged in public philosophy, organising lectures and discussions in order to make philosophical thinking accessible beyond the university environment. Through his work, he promotes intercultural philosophical exchange, paying particular attention to the interaction between Western and Eastern traditions of thought.

The event takes place as part of the multimedia research project “HOW ARE YOU TODAY? Emotional intelligence”. The exhibition, dedicated to physician Ilze Aizsilniece (1966–2025), brings together works by 28 Latvian artists and invites visitors to look at emotions through the prism of art, science, medicine, and personal experience.

Free admission.

The event will be held in Latvian.
