Four Views of Tartu

As the European Capital of Culture for 2024, Tartu in Estonia is hosting over 1,000 events across the year. Hover over each image to find out more.

This is a feature from Issue 19 of Charitable Traveller. Click to read more from this issue.

'Arts of Survival' is the theme for Tartu and the Southern Estonia region as it gears up to be the European Capital of Culture in 2024. "The Arts of Survival are interpreted by fields of culture, from folk and food culture to music, film, and visual art," said Kati Torp, Tartu 2024 artistic director.

"The role and meaning of the theme of Arts of Survival has changed," says Torp. "The last few years in particular have taught us a great deal about the importance for the need to adapt to survive. We live at a time when European cooperation, solidarity, and democract are critical to the survival of culture."

The programme is packed with events that highlight how diverse, inclusive, and inventive the region is, and includes the Washing Machine Made of Beetroot. This eight-month long exhibitiomn celebrates the ingenuity of the gargage culture of repairing and home-building vehicles, recycling and DIY-mentality that was sparked during a time of deprivation in the Soviet era.

Naked Truth, a festival all about the sauna, a fundamental part of Estonian life, promises to be a highlight. In the sauna, secrets are shared, business matters resolved and the world set to rights. Another must-see is Kissing Tartu, a major concert with an unprecedented simultaneous kissing event in the town hall square. It’ll celebrate not just romantic kisses, but platonic and familial signs of affection too.
