The seminar will present the latest research on Swedish late medieval art. The seminar precedes the conference Michel Sittow in the North? Artistic contacts in the late medieval Baltic region (2‒3 November 2023, Niguliste Museum).
The exhibition focuses on the works of three Baltic women artists – Malle Leis, Maija Tabaka and Marija Teresė Rožanskaitė – in the late Soviet era of the 1970s and 1980s.
In this conversation the participants, art historians from Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic states, will discuss decolonial perspectives and their potential in the programmes of art institutions, museum collections and cultural heritage work in Eastern Europe.
The entertainment programme Graphic Art: Tinfoil Print combines a tour of the exhibition Through the Black Gorge of Your Eyes and a workshop in the Kumu art studio.
