Activism School
How to resist or take to the streets? How does it feel to stand up for something – alone, together, with friends and strangers? Who is an “activist” and what does solidarity mean?
Activism School is a series of practical, educational, and theoretical workshops inspired by Anna-Stina Treumund’s activism and art. The aim of Activism School is to provide participants with tools to enable civic activism to grow in Estonia at a time when (international) human rights are under threat, the climate crisis looms large, and inequality is on the rise.
These events are a part of the public programme of the exhibition Anna-Stina Treumund: How to Recognise a Lesbian?.
Anna-Stina Treumund: How to Recognise a Lesbian? is the largest-ever exhibition of Anna-Stina Treumund’s (1982–2017) works, mapping her activities as a photographer, a contemporary artist and an activist. Treumund was a feminist artist and activist, as well as the first in Estonia to clearly integrate her artist’s position with the experience of being a lesbian. Her art projects of the 2000s and 2010s were seminal in the Estonian art scene and the feminist movement. Although she never received wide recognition during her lifetime, her oeuvre remains impactful.
Participation is free of charge with an annual pass to the Art Museum of Estonia.
