Festival "Art for a Meat Tax"
Dates:
09/04/2026, 03:00 PM — 09/06/2026, 08:00 PM
Price:Free
The festival focuses on themes of empathy, environment, and health, with this year's special topic being gluttony—highlighting the overconsumption of meat and other resources in consumer society. The event promotes discussion of a possible meat tax to help reduce excessive meat consumption. Organizers aim to spark conversations about the impact of our food choices on the environment, climate, animals, and health, emphasizing that high meat consumption in Latvia is a result of the modern food system rather than a long-standing tradition. The festival points to scientific studies linking high red and processed meat consumption with increased disease risks. The event program is available here.
