The group exhibition ida ots(as)? / east end(s)? focuses on re-examining and reflecting on the identity and socio-psychological experiences of Eastern Europeans. Eight Estonian artists will present their works in diverse mediums, and thereby create a complex offering for an open intergenerational dialogue.
We question: What does it mean to be a nation that is located and defined as being North-Eastern European? How is Estonia's identity shaped by inner and outer expectations? When will we be able to live up to the set of economic, societal and developmental standards of Western Europe or do we have the backbone to define a new path?
The exhibition takes place at Põhjala Tehas in hangar no 5. (Marati 5) 13–30 August. Open daily 12pm–6pm!
Take the trams no 1 or 2 direction Kopli from the city center to Marati station.
