WORKSHOP

The “Ugliest Place in Tartu” lighting design workshop is part of the TAVA26 Light Biennial and is based on Katja Muttilainen’s light art concept “The Ugliest Place in the City.”

WORKSHOP

As part of the Tartu Light Biennale TAVA26, an architectural lighting workshop will take place at the University of Tartu Botanical Garden. Guided by internationally acclaimed IALD lighting designers, the workshop offers hands-on experience in planning spatial, aesthetic, and functional lighting within the natural setting of the botanical garden.

EXHIBITION

The exhibition "The Invisible Side of Light" introduces Hannes Sirkel’s photographic work, where art meets natural science. The works reveal how an array of natural objects appear in different parts of the light spectrum, and how structures, pigments, and surfaces that normally remain beyond the range of our perception can be brought to light.

EXHIBITION

How to explore the inseparable connection between light and shadow? Instead of treating light purely as a revealing force, the exhibition focuses on how light simultaneously creates shadow – how visibility and invisibility exist side by side, shaping perception, memory, and emotional experience.

OPENING CONCERT

What happens when acoustic instruments blend with electronic vibrations, and musical genres lose their boundaries, merging into something fresh and new, yet intimately familiar?

EXHIBITION

Light is one of those elements that enables growth and sustains life and the joy of living. Shadow is needed for rest and regaining strength, so that at dawn / in spring one can begin chasing the light once more. The same process—if not physically, then mentally—occurs in most people.

EXHIBITION

A collaborative exhibition by the Pallas University of Applied Sciences and the Estonian Sculptors' Union brings together third-year students from the Pallas sculpture department and recognized professional sculptors. The project focuses on the intergenerational exchange of experience and the transmission of professional skills.

EXHIBITION

Our lives depend on soil, yet we rarely think of it as something valuable that needs to be cared for and nourished. In contemporary thinking, soil has been reduced to little more than a place from which to harvest crops, to trample and plough endlessly, and into which to pour waste and debris, because soil seems to tolerate everything. Such an attitude has brought us to a situation where soil fertility has declined drastically, and according to scientists, humanity has, on average, only around sixty harvests left.

FINAL CONCERT

Cätlin’s folk tunes blend with Jaan’s spoken-word and musical touch into a fresh folk compote, brimming with honey-sweet fairytales and warm, crackling madness.
