The brand new exhibition is inspired by the theme of Cultural Climate Change, invites us to see beyond the ordinary, to connect in deeper ways, and to envision a future where creativity and community are at the forefront.
Through a multidisciplinary lens of 17 international artists, the exhibition explores play as both a source of joy and a distraction, highlighting moments of joy, resilience, rebellion and connection. Together, the works form a visual journey into play as a deeply human form of expression and a non-verbal language.
The exhibition is curated by Fotografiska Tallinn brand director Jorven Viilik.
The artists featured in the group exhibition are Martin Parr, Cristina de Middel, Susan Meiselas, Jouko Lehtola, Bruce Davidson, Roger Ballen, Nina Katchadourian, Sage Sohier, Trent Parke, Christopher Herwig, Karolina Wojtas, Niccolo Rastrelli, Joosep Kivimäe, Mathias Väärsi, Pelle Cass, Deanna Dikeman and Louis-Philippe Rondeau.
