Building upon these considerations, and also recognising that even now, more than three decades after Latvia regained its independence, distinct Latvian communities in the West are discernible based on their time of arrival, this project aims to explore the “post-exilic” period of the Latvian exile community from a historical viewpoint. Moreover, by amplifying the voices of exiled Latvians and their descendants, the project can help alleviate potential tensions between exiles and local residents in Latvia, fostering empathy, understanding, and cohesion, while breaking stereotypes rooted in historical and experiential differences.
