Svinot Latvijas dzimšanas dienu, ikviens aicināts piedzīvot kopīgus gaismas mirkļus un pozitīvas emocijas, vērojot un izbaudot vietējo un starptautisko gaismas mākslinieku radītos gaismas objektus. “Staro Rīga” norisināsies četru dienu garumā – no 15. līdz 18. novembrim, katru vakaru no plkst. 17.00 līdz 23.00. Šajā laikā Rīgas ielās un parkos iemirdzēsies daudzveidīgas gaismu instalācijas, audiovizuāli gaismas objekti un ēkas fasāžu video projekcijas. Šī gada festivāla pamatprogrammā ir 52 gaismas objekti. Gaismas festivāla “Staro Rīga 2026” tēma ir “unum momentum – tas viens mirklis”. Gaismas mākslinieki un radošās grupas, veidojot savus piedāvājumus šī gada festivāla programmai un gaismas loku ekspozīciju koncepcijām, reflektē par kādu būtisku mirkli, kas dažādos gaismas mākslas veidos, formātos un žanros, multimediāli un starpdisciplināri tiek apspēlēts vizuālajā stāstniecībā. Tas viens mirklis, kas izmaina pasauli – globālo vai kāda iekšējo pasauli. Mirklis, kurā tiek sperts nākamais solis, izdarīta kāda izvēle. Mirklis pirms vai pēc kāda zīmīga notikuma, garāmslīdošs mirklis ar savu tēlainību, sajūtām un poētiku. Mirklis, kas ir tagad, te, visiem kopā, gaismas aptvertiem, svinot mūsu visu kopīgos svētkus. Festivāla tēmas emocionālo ievirzi raksturo Imanta Ziedoņa vārdi: “Es neesmu nekas, ja manī nav tās gaismas, ko cilvēki par mīlestību sauc.” – Apskati objektus.
