In the new episode of the Transform4Europe (T4EU) podcast, Triin Männik talks with Kirke Kangro and Linda Kaljundi about what it means to reframe a monument and why it matters today.
Kirke Kangro is an artist, curator and Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA). Linda Kaljundi is a historian, curator and Vice Rector for Research at EKA. In the podcast, they take a closer look at their joint research project, “How to Reframe Monuments,” which explores how artistic and interdisciplinary approaches can offer new ways of engaging with contested heritage.
The conversation ranges from monuments that have become the subject of public debate in Estonia to broader European and global perspectives. They discuss how we might reinterpret public monuments rather than simply preserve or remove them, and what this means for our understanding of memory, history and public space.
