Exhibition “Inherited light”

Group exhibition by the Sculpture Department at the Pallas University of Applied Sciences and the Estonian Sculptors' Union

31th October- 30th November, 2024
Opening Reception:  31th October, 17:00

On 7-9 November 2024, the exhibition is exceptionally open from 11:00 to 22:00!

What would the light of survival look like? In the delicate balance between heaviness and lightness lies the hope that, after today's rain, tomorrow's weather will bring clarity. There is light at the end of the tunnel. 

As humans, we navigate a recurring vortex of millions of histories; our survival relies not only on resilience but also on visionary guidance. Courageous action, a contemporary interpretation of ancestral wisdom, and the ability to see the broader picture are essential.

How do we merge the latest technology with traditional cultural narratives, combining pulsating energy with inherited fruits and roots? Can past experiences hold enough revolutionary power to address humanity’s critical questions with both conviction and relevance? 

The exhibition brings together the students of the Pallas Sculpture Department and established sculptors from older generations. It raises the question: which skills and insights from predecessors can be passed on to emerging sculptors? What skills endure, and what might be lost? By passing on the light, we strive  for cultural continuity.
