Jewellery Exhibition „Mets sosistab / Metsä kuiskaa“

The Forest Whispers is a unique jewellery exhibition that brings Estonian jewellery to Finland for the first time.

The exhibition of contemporary Estonian jewellery, Forest Whispers, tells the story of the relationship with nature, the forest and its meanings for Estonians. The jewellery opens up the relationship with the forest and nature from different perspectives: through mythology, the forest connection and the production of natural materials or ideas.

This unique jewelry exhibition brings Estonian jewelry to Finland for the first time. The exhibition features the work of around 50 jewelry artists, a forest project by students from the Art School of Helsinki, and the work of Roman Tavasti artists. The exhibition is curated by PhD Kärt Summatavet.

The forest is a meaningful, even sacred place. The experience of nature opens up by spending time there in different ways: walking, sitting, listening, drawing, photographing, swimming, picking berries and mushrooms. The exhibition allows you to delve deeper into the history of Estonian jewellery, mythology and the relationship with nature. The jewellery has been transformed into experiences, observations and dreams, traditions and ancient knowledge in the hands of artists. The relationship between Finnish and Estonian people with forests is very similar and exhibition visitors will certainly find common ground in their own ideas about nature and forests.

Juulia Aleksandra Mikson’s solo exhibition “For a Moment”

You are warmly invited to the opening of Juulia Aleksandra Mikson’s solo exhibition “For a Moment” on Tuesday, May 6th at 18:30, at Manufaktuuri 7/2, Tallinn.

From 6th to 16th of May Juulia Aleksandra Mikson is organizing her solo exhibition “For a Moment” as part of her master’s project at the Craft Studies department at the Estonian Academy of Arts. The overarching theme of the exhibition is the metamorphosis of life and the fading of matter. The materials used in the artworks engage with the gradual decay of life. The limited lifespan of the pieces — their potential to break, unravel, or fragment — conveys the uniqueness of both disintegration and creation.

By using the word ‘hääbuma’ that translates as decay or fading , often associated with melancholy or sorrow, the artist embraces the inevitability of life’s flow — where every end marks a new beginning. Nothing is permanent nor irreversibly lost, but rather in constant motion, always offering the potential for rebirth.

The exhibition site itself reflects a location-specific metamorphosis through time — the reinhabitation of the once-abandoned Baltic Cotton Spinning and Weaving Factory, now being transformed into the Manufaktuuri Quarter. The exhibition unfolds across three spatial environments: an apple orchard, liminal space between old factory buildings , and a contemporary residential development. This new architecture contrasts visually with the remaining factory buildings — at least, for now, before the old is fully absorbed by the new.The exhibition space brings together the works that embody various forms of textility and stages of transformation.

Juulia Aleksandra Mikson is a textile artist who explores the boundaries between materials. Her creative process is guided by the intrinsic properties of the materials, allowing them to lead the dynamics of creation. In her liminal practice, she has combined textiles with clay, and metal with textiles — revealing new layers within the relationships between materials. Working with both metal and clay, she values the freedom found in not knowing — a space where limitations do not hinder experimentation or the flow of creativity. For her, the essence of creation lies in the pure joy of making, where technique and material naturally become extensions of the hands and the mind.

Juulia’s work engages with themes surrounding the relationship between humans, the Earth, and nature. Through this lens, she reflects on the contemporary fear of dacy and fading — where, in denying disappearance, we live in illusion.

“For a Moment”, Juulia Aleksandra Mikson’s solo exhibition, forms part of her master’s thesis in the Art Studies curriculum at the Estonian Academy of Arts and is presented within the EKA TASE Graduation Festival.

Supervisors: Marta Konovalov, Kärt Ojavee, Juss Heinsalu

Anita Kremm’s “Contract” at Hobusepea Gallery

Anita Kremms exhibition on contracts and identity

On April 30, 2025, at 18.00, the solo exhibition CONTRACT by Anita Kremm, recipient of the 2024 EKA Young Artist Award, will open at Hobusepea gallery.
The exhibition is curated by Ene-Liis Semper.

Anita Kremm has been working with the theme of contracts since 2021. Since then, she has conducted a series of practical experiments, entering into contracts on a wide variety of topics and in various formats: a contract signed in blood, in which participants commit to revealing the most violent act from their past. A birthday contract, wherein all guests bring the birthday person a book they are then required to read throughout the course of the evening. A debt contract, in which both parties agree to a mutual debt relationship, which can only be resolved by performing the specified act or surrendering an object as described in the contract. And so forth. All contracts are valid under current legislation and binding upon mutual agreement between the parties. According to Anita, this artistic trajectory emerged as a response to the COVID-19 era: “I felt I needed a deeper understanding of people and how they function. I felt that everything I knew was merely the surface.”

The current exhibition centres around a contract made between the artist and a volunteer, to whom she transferred her entire external identity for a 24-hour period: her apartment, clothing, eating habits, daily routines, phone, computer, and all social and familial contacts.

A video documentation of the experiment invites viewers to reflect on questions such as: What constitutes the self? What defines me? Does the self require external identity to be recognised? Or is the self formed through this external framework? What personal and general agreements define our sense of self? Etc.

Anita Kremm (1998) is an interdisciplinary artist working in photography, theatre, film, video, and performance. While engaging with various styles and mediums, her work consistently focuses on interpersonal relationships, and the boundaries between the familiar and unfamiliar, the everyday and uncanny. By disrupting daily routines and pushing beyond comfort zones, she creates extraordinary moments, provokes the everyday, and welcomes the unknown into familiar spaces. Her works have been exhibited in Tallinn, Helsinki, Moscow, Weimar, Graz, and Prague, and her experimental short films have been screened at multiple European festivals. Her master’s thesis,  Me/Her – In Dialogue with Julia Kristeva, was awarded the EKA Young Artist Award in 2024.

The exhibition is supported by the Cultural Endowment of Estonia & COBALT Law Firm.
The artist’s gratitude goes to: Irina Kremm ja Vladislav Kremm, Ljudmilla ja Hariton Drajev, Jakob Juksaar, Mia Maria Rohumaa, Aksel Haagensen, Karin Allik, Eva Mari Mahhov, Ele Mall Vainomäe, Mihhail, Tõnu Hiielaid, Oliver Reimann, Anette Pärn, Mark Raidpere, Peeter Kutman, Kanuti Gildi Saali perekond, Still Frame OÜ.

Growing smaller? Lessons from Ida-Virumaa

In Ida-Virumaa, a region that once was a home to numerous vibrant settlements sustained by the oil shale mining industry which brought many people to the area, significant signs of shrinkage have emerged following the industry’s decline.

Today, a significant number of  people are relocating, often leaving behind only the memory of a home. As part of our research on the urban landscape of Ida-Virumaa, we spent a day exploring some abandoned properties in Kiviõli, Kohtla-Järve and Jõhvi. Many of these homes continue to contain an abundance of personal items and unspoken stories that reveal not only the past, but also the potential future of the region. Our exhibition will guide  you through the series of seven exhibits all over EKA, each offering a unique perspective on the transitioning identity of Ida-Virumaa.

From installations and maps to TikTok, our projects explore diverse ways of showcasing the everyday of shrinking communities and their ongoing transformation. Through stories of dachas, renovation efforts and the everyday struggles of youth and seniors, we confront the challenges of decline. This includes the sense of entrapment experiences by individuals and their mental health challenges that often stem from systemic failure. At the same time, we search for the possibility of sparks and moments of light in these shrinking places. Our work aims to give insight on both the challenges and the resilience found in these spaces, where accessibility, support and opportunity remain crucial for people of all ages.

SAVE THE DATE!
2nd of May, 15:00 in the open area of A-400.

Does the JTF really LNOB?

Annabel Pops, Paula Fischer

The Just Transition Fund is the latest effort under the European Green Deal to ease the burden of the transition from oil shale mining on the workers and regions. Ida-Virumaa is the region in Estonia to receive funding, and one that finds itself between a negative view on the mining industry’s past and a somewhat overly optimistic vision of the future. By questioning the justness of the transition, we are mapping out the new narratives positioned upon the region and ask critically, if the forthcoming change will really LNOB (leave no one behind).

#IdaIsHome

Anna Dzebliuk, Melissa Lee

After visiting Ida-Virumaa, we noticed a deep sense of care among its residents even though this place may often be labelled as “shrinking”. This research explores how perceptions of “home” and ground-up initiatives can support local resilience. TikTok became a tool to test how digital storytelling and informal media can spark dialogue around identity, belonging and the everyday realities of so-called “shrinking” cities. By tapping into a space where many young people already express themselves, we asked: can social media help reimagine these places not as abandoned, but as alive with care, creativity and potential?

Dachniki for Future

Yiğithan Akçay, Sarah John von Zydowitz

Dachas, the iconic countryside retreats of the former Soviet Union, have a rich and complex history serving as both leisure spaces and essential sources of food production. Today dachas function not only as places of leisure but also as social and ecological safety nets. They provide a contrast to urban community gardens, offering more autonomy and stronger intergenerational connections. We visited three Dacha allotment garden cooperatives to get into contact with Dachnikis through letters, asking about their commoning and community practices.

Shifting the Narrative: “Chronic” Struggles of Renovation

Ləman Məmmədli, Viktorija Kolomažņikova

Declining towns have become a reality in regions of eastern Estonia. They have been mostly dependent on heavy industries such as oil shale mining to support their economies. In pursuit of reducing climate damages, such areas that produce fossil fuels have been left in a tricky situation. This industry is planned to be phased out completely soon and replaced with more environmentally sustainable options. In order to make the transition smoother, different grants and funds have been allocated to these areas. These allocations were supposed to create more job opportunities, develop the urban fabric and infrastructure, and improve the living conditions of the citizens. However, through a deeper dive struggles of a senior demographic, especially with the housing renovations, become apparent. This research aims to identify, analyze, and possibly open up a larger discussion on the issues faced by elderly communities when it comes to the topic of renovating their homes and improving their quality of life in shrinking cities.

Decades of Slow Retreat:short leap to social realities and mental health condition

Adeolu Afolabi, Zoë Lipp

Mental health is often the silent echo of long-term neglect. In shrinking regions like Ida-Virumaa—where buildings stand half-empty, the population ages, and public spaces quietly disappear—the impact isn’t just demographic; it’s emotional. Missing park benches, broken stairwells, and fading services aren’t just details—they shape how people live, connect, and endure. This game transforms these everyday realities into tangible experiences. Through each event card, we open a window into the lives of those navigating the in-betweens: between generations, between collapsing systems, between floors in buildings without elevators. Most residents don’t break—they adapt. But the strain leaves its mark, even when no one talks about it. By playing, reflecting, and stepping into these roles, we’re reminded that mental health is not just personal—it’s spatial, social, and political. And sometimes, a warm bowl of soup, a fixed light bulb, or simply an unlocked door is enough to hold a community together.

Trapped at one’s own home

Anna Böhmová, Hanna Steckl

By visiting an old man’s home in Kivioli, Ida-Virumaa, we delved into the topics and problems faced by the elderly in this region. By exploring the health care and financial situation, we came to the issue of the accessibility of Soviet-era apartment blocks. Most of the elderly in this area live in these houses, which are up to five floors high and have no elevators. For many of these people, it is not possible to move anywhere else, and therefore, they end up trapped in their homes. They have nowhere to go, but their current home doesn’t allow them to engage with daily needs and activities. We explore this topic by discussing different possible solutions- some are physical, and some are more on an imaginative level…

Yes / No / Other

Lukas Laubre, Katrīna Stīna Jesikena

With the changing of the guard over thirty years ago, some have found themselves in the middle of a major international dispute forced to choose sides between two or more parents bickering for their loyalty, allegiance. “Yes / No / Other” explores the tough questions these people are forced to answer every day. Questions that, for the sake of supposed national security (of the right side), reach deep into the most private of spheres: identity, domestic life, ideology. In reality, most would rather be left alone and are at best indifferent to these issues. But the questions keep coming, relentlessly and one-sidedly, as if loyalty were a simple box to check and a lifetime of complexity could be conveniently filed away — while others, with the right passports or the right surnames, live freely without ever being harassed.
