Grafica Povera at Kultuurikatla Aed

Wednesday saw the opening night of Grafica Povera, the annual exhibition of graphic design work from students at Eesti Kunstiakadeemia (Estonian Academy of Art). The exhibition co-incided with the opening of Kanala bar at Kultuurikatla Aed in Kalamaja, Tallinn.

KKA has been an asset to creative and artistic people in the city, providing a space for threatre groups, artists, cooks and even, on one occasion, me, for an interview I was doing. Evelyn Sepp, the Kultuurikatel Chief Executive, is moving on shortly, and I hope, for the sake of Tallinn's future as a city with its own artistic and cultural identity, that the site continues to be used by such a wide range of people going forward. Art and design is not only important for artists and designers - it brings everyone a city they can be proud and happy living in.

The design display showed the full range of influences - many of which will be talked-about at workshops and discussion events between now and Saturday.
