Culture Moves Europe: ten days in Tallinn that fly by, filled with poetry and design fiction, artistic encounters, workshops organised at Tallinn University, visits to exhibitions and cultural venues around the city...
Last Thursday, we presented an overview of what brought us to Tallinn and what we have achieved there, particularly with the participants in our workshops combining poetry and design fiction. It was a way of showing the potential of this multidisciplinary approach to thinking about desirable, alternative futures that are deeply connected to our emotions. What kind of humans do we want to be?
Soon, a digital museum will be created to showcase these creations, these worlds, these texts that offer a future other than the one promised to us, often in a bleak manner. Our creative energies are limitless; it is up to us to transform them into tangible forms and bring them to life.
During my stay, I was also able to conduct interviews for my project Me and My Machine, which questions our emotional relationship with the machines that surround us. Some of these encounters gave rise to poems, which I was able to present in the exhibition.
Thank you to Daniel Irabién Peniche for taking us under his wing at Tallinn University.
Thank you to Miguel for introducing me to Tallinn and design fiction.
