The main programme consists of three different exhibitions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The biennial will open with a joint exhibition by renowned Estonian artists <b>Tanja Muravskaja<\/b> and <b>Sirje Runge<\/b>. The exhibition will be held at the Kai Art Centre. The programme also includes a photography exhibition in Tallinn&#8217;s public urban space and a joint exhibition of Estonian and Finnish photography artists at the Hobusepea and FOKU galleries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThis year\u2019s Tallinn Photomonth programme features three different exhibitions, each examining the growing role of photography in a world saturated with images. Photography is increasingly present in everyday life, but art offers space for reflection and the opportunity to develop visual literacy,\u201d says <b>Kulla Laas<\/b>, director of the biennial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The joint exhibition by Tanja Muravskaja and Sirje Runge is curated by <b>M\u0117ta Valiu\u0161aityt\u0117<\/b> (France\/Lithuania). The exhibition brings together works in a dialogical way, and explores materiality and different ways of perceiving photography.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The programme traditionally includes bringing art into public spaces. This year&#8217;s Urban Space exhibition curators <b>Kati Ots<\/b> (Estonia) and <b>Trine Stephensen<\/b> (Norway) explore how photography can function not only as a visual image but also as a sculptural element that creates a certain space, and influences how that space is experienced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">One of the most significant innovations is the first joint project with Finland. The Estonian Association of Photographic Artists (FOKU) is collaborating with its Finnish counterpart (VTL) to organise a joint exhibition, which will be shown simultaneously at the Hobusepea and FOKU galleries. The project aims to increase cooperation between Estonians and Finns in making and curating art. A meeting and a public discussion panel for professionals in the field will be organised in connection with the exhibition. The exhibition series, which began in Tallinn, will continue in Finland in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The Tallinn Photomonth international photography biennial will be held for the eighth time this year in Tallinn from September &hellip; <span class=\"read-more-excerpt\">Read more<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":146219,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[25234,291,13609,15019,20588,21559,25007,25233],"class_list":["post-146224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","tag-photomonth","tag-events","tag-photography","tag-art-2","tag-photographic-art","tag-events-in-tallinn","tag-kai-art-centre","tag-estonian-cultural-foundation"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146224"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146224\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":146225,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146224\/revisions\/146225"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
