Reflections, Museum of New Art, Pärnu

Sex, AIDS and Coca-Cola, Pärnu Artists House
This exhibition takes the viewer back to the 1990s, a time when Coca-Cola replaced grandma’s red currant juice, hamburgers stormed in, and news about AIDS began to spread. Freedom brought the chance to chase dreams, but also fear and paranoia.
