edit data

I am an author, podcast creator, and researcher, deeply connected to Latvian culture while also driven by a genuine interest in other cultures, shaped by my life in different countries. I studied philology in Latvia, theatre studies in Germany, and earned a PhD from the Latvian Academy of Culture. I am interested in language as a social phenomenon — as something that can both connect and divide people. Out of this interest and my experience working with children, my book "Mamma saka ābols, papa saka Apfel" (“Mum says ābols, Dad says Apfel”) was born. It is the first work of its kind on Latvian language acquisition in a multilingual environment. I currently live in Germany and am working on my next books. ...more

Inga Sindi and 3 other people liked Kurmisrupucis's review of Kafija un cigaretes - Astrīda: "sākums labs, pa vidu domā, kāds īsti bija grāmatas koncepts, un labi, ka beigas atkal atgriežas uz ceļa. izstāstīts laikam ir viss, ko cilvēks no malas var iedomāties, bet aktrise tā arī klā nav laidusi. un nav jau arī jālaiž"

Inga Sindi and 4 other people liked Laura's review of Tēvs: "Ļoti personisks un sāpīgs stāsts. Aizķer un zinu, ka kādu laiku nelaidīs vaļā. Jā, cik gan dzīvju ir pārplēstas un ārdītas, jo kāds neiederas tur, kur ir, jo kāds nav tas, kuram vajadzētu būt. Atmiņa, kas liek atcerēties, bet nenosoda, jo mīl. Atmiņa" Read more of this review »
