The popular Vabamu exhibition will be opening at VEMU Estonian Museum Canada in Toronto from 23.09.2023-29.02.2024.
Originally opened in November 2021 at Vabamu Museum of Occupation and Freedom in Tallinn,‘Why Estonia? 30 Years from the USSR to e-Estonia’, takes a look back at the birth of a digital nation, its achievements over the years and what the future holds in store.The playful layout and engaging stories were designed to help answer the questions of how and why Estonia, once a nation of farmers, became a world-leading digital society and what new challenges lie ahead of us.
The exhibition has been curated by recognized Estonian technology journalist Henrik Roonemaa from an idea by the Director of Vabamu Karen Jagodin and is brought to you by Vabamu, VEMU, Taavet+Sten.
VEMU/Estonian Museum Canada will be opening Estonian National Museum’s photography exhibit about fathers at Tartu College for Father’s Day in June. ENM’s exhibit was formed using photographic material that was gathered from Estonians during a collection campaign. We wish to supplement the Toronto display by including photos of great Estonian-Canadian fathers who play an important role in both their families and in the Estonian community.
Since 2023 is the year of movement in Estonia, it would be great if the fathers would be photographed in the midst of an activity or exercise. Movement can be included, but the focus does not have to be on sports or athletic exercise. But there’s plenty more interesting and unique aspects of a father’s life that can be captured in photos and shared. And so, photos taken at, for example, Tartu College or at other Estonian gathering places, depicting activities involved with Estonian organizations, and private as well as family function images are also welcomed. What’s important is that the photo features an Estonian father in Canada. Photos can be current or from the past.
Please send best possible quality images in jpg format to this email address: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by May 7th, 2023. Include the names of individuals in the photos, short description of the activity or event depicted, as well as where and when the photo was taken. Sending more than one photo is also welcome. The VEMU team will choose the photos to be displayed in the exhibit from amongst the materials that we receive.
Bring on the photos!
