Ivars Šteinbergs has been nominated for the Annual Award for Art Criticism

Ivars Šteinbergs, a researcher at the Institute of Literature, Folklore and Art of the University of Latvia (UL ILFA), has been nominated for the Normunds Naumanis Annual Award for Art Criticism.

Commenting on Ivars’s nomination, the jury experts state:
“By engaging with facts and texts from literary and cultural history, by stylizing and at times provoking, he becomes a compelling interlocutor both for the writers whose works he evaluates and for readers. Although his reviews are stylistically engaging and witty, they are grounded in serious knowledge and an interest in contemporary cultural processes, as well as a keen sense of his own time.”

Ivars Šteinbergs has been nominated for his literary criticism published in the online journals Satori and Punctum.

The winners will be announced on January 8 at the “NN Night” event at the New Riga Theatre.
