Museum of the Occupation of Latvia Museum
Silence is not allowed to think.
For students in grades 9-12
The aim of the lesson is to promote understanding of the use of cultural events and artistic elements in ideology during the Soviet occupation (1945-1990), when official art, recognized by the authorities, and unofficial art, which helped maintain faith in freedom and which was banned by the authorities and its authors repressed, existed in parallel.
By analyzing elements from various fields (literature, fine arts, environment, visual arts, and festivals), students will learn about the culture and art of the Soviet occupation, develop critical thinking, and strengthen their understanding of the importance of a free, democratic state and individuality.
