Closing event of the exhibition My Home, Our City on 11 January │ Curator’s tour
The darkest part of the year is now behind us. As the days grow brighter, the dark, minimalist, cozy, and warm My Home, Our City exhibition at the Lasnamäe Pavilion – designed with the preceding gloom in mind – also draws to a close. On Saturday, 11 January, the penultimate day of the exhibition, there will be a final curator’s tour, followed by screenings of films by Eleonore de Montesquiou and Diana Tamane in the cinema hall of the Lindakivi Cultural Centre, next to the pavilion.
The exhibition My Home, Our City, curated by Siim Preiman, who has lived in Lasnamäe for years, is inspired by the location of the exhibition pavilion in the most densely populated area of Estonia. Through photos, films, and video games, it reflects on modernism, urban life, loneliness, home, community, and intimacy. During the exhibition tour, the curator will present the background and development of the display and draw visitors’ attention to key points on a symbolic journey from concrete to skin.
The tour lasts about an hour and is conducted in Estonian.
