 Perdita S.-i ja Pire Sova näitus “Planet Amor”
You are invited to the opening of Planet Amor, an exhibition by Perdita S. and Pire Sova, at the sex shop Planet Amor, on August 7 at 18:00. The exhibition will remain open until October 8. Planet Amor is an exhibition about female sexual agency, intimacy, and the power to set boundaries in a world that often expects quiet compliance. It doesn’t speak of sin or redemption, but of choices – personal, complex, and sincere. It speaks of people whose bodies and affection do not automatically belong to anyone. The works of the two artists connect personal experience with social critique, questioning the norms that define whose sexuality is visible and accepted, and whose is not. What would change if the right to decide over one's body and desires were not overshadowed by shame, the threat of violence, or poverty?

"Through Salty Water" by Johanna Mudist

On August 6 at 16.00, Johanna Mudist's solo exhibition "Through Salty Water" will open at Kuressaare Raegalerii.   Johanna Mudist's solo exhibition "Through Salty Water" at Kuressaare Raegalerii presents the artist's most recent work. In her paintings, the human and the sea meet — two elements that are inseparable on the island of Saaremaa. One always arrives on the island through water. The salty sea remains behind, yet it also stays within the body — on the skin, in the hair, and in the thoughts.   Water, as a recurring motif, creates connections — between the mainland and the island, the body and nature, one person and another. It is a bond that endures, even when physical presence fades. Mudist's paintings invite viewers to sense how the invisible ties between people and place continue to flow within us.  
“Plastic Ways, Salty Stones” by Mari-Leen Kiipli
On Friday, August 1 at 18.00, Mari-Leen Kiipli’s solo exhibition Plastic Ways, Salty Stones will open at Draakoni Gallery. The exhibition will remain on view until August 23, 2025.  Salty seawater polishes coastal stones to a smooth gloss, erodes shorelines, and gives rise to clay and sand. Metamorphic rocks, erratic boulders, stones embedded within other stones – all formed in the heat of the earth’s crust, from once-pliable matter. The wave that erodes the land brings in concrete, gravel, and synthetic debris. A diffuse presence drifts through the seawater – plastic particles circulating in my bloodstream, embedded in my tissues.
„Momentum / Monumentum“ by Al Paldrok
On Friday, August 1st at 18.00 Al Paldrok’s solo exhibition Momentum / Monumentum will open in Hobusepea gallery.  A new generation has emerged, seeking to define its way of thinking and carve out a space in society. This pursuit has become a wellspring of creative energy and a path toward understanding. They seek to disrupt the existing balance of power, engaging directly with reality and placing greater value on artistic expression. They veer toward the extreme, provoking themselves and their audiences to oppose social norms. They are troubled by the emergence of a new puritanical social movement that imposes significant restrictions on individual freedoms. Al Paldrok At the opening, the book Non Grata. 5. Performances 2017–2024 will be presented for the first time in Estonia.
Exhibition “From Mother to Daughter, From Daughter to Mother”
On Friday, 1 August at 5:00 p.m., the exhibition “From Mother to Daughter, From Daughter to Mother” will open in the large gallery of the Tartu Art House. The exhibition is being curated by Ulla Juske and Liisi Tamm and was designed by Cloe Jancis. The exhibition is dedicated to Reet Varblane (1952-2023), an art scholar, mother, grandmother, friend, colleague, mentor and inspiration.  The relationship between a mother and daughter is multi-faceted and changes over time, combining a deep bond and clear separation that makes it complex but infinitely rich. The works in the exhibition are inspired by personal objects and stories that allow us to make sense of the relationship between a mother and daughter. 
"Soft Chaos" by Liisa Kruusmägi, Helmi Arrak & Krõõt Kukkur
On Friday, 1 August at 5:00 p.m., Liisa Kruusmägi, Helmi Arrak and Krõõt Kukkur  will open their joint exhibition "Soft Chaos" in the monumental gallery of the Tartu Art House. A spatial collage brings together ceramics, paintings and drawings by three artists with similar mindsets. You'll also encounter works that have never before been shown to the public. At the invitation of Soft Chaos, colours explode in our bubblegum booths. Dust has danced up from studio floors. Cutting lines fracture between continents where our imagined and real studios reside. Today in Brazil, tomorrow in Africa and the day after in France. With a free hand and a carefree spirit.
