The Estonian Painters Union’s annual exhibition \u201cR\u00e4\u00e4kimata lood\u201d (Untold Stories) is on display at P\u00e4rnu\u2019s Museum of New Art. A total of 81 artists from the union are participating in the exhibition.<\/p>\n

After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the history of occupation, memories of foreign abuses against individuals and groups, experiences of loss of freedom, and uncertainty about existence resurfaced from the nation’s subconscious. Now, collective trauma has been given the right to exist.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the oppressive threat of war and the crazy economic situation, there is new breath in the air, a new sense of freedom, the courage to call things by their right names. The phrase \u2018unspoken story\u2019 refers to something that has not been talked about before, or that no one has wanted to talk about,\u201d writes Jaan Elken<\/b> in the exhibition\u2019s introductory text.<\/p>\n

The artists of the Estonian Painters Union are not a herd, as the curator of the exhibition writes, but individuals, each with an untold story. In this exhibition, everyone tells their own unique story. There are no categories of joy, sadness, anger or love. The viewer can interpret the stories freely.<\/p>\n
