Prima Vista is here!

This week´s highlight is a yearly international literature festival that has a lot to offer - also to English-speaking residents of Tartu!

This year´s theme offers an opportunity to reflect on the borderlands between humans and technology, nature and culture, reality and imagination. It will explore how artificial intelligence and artificial environments shape human identity and creativity, how literature helps to preserve human experience, the role of imagination in the formation of identity, and what cultural authenticity means in a contemporary context.

You can find the program here: https://kirjandusfestival.tartu.ee/en/programme/

❄️ Kõik tartlased on oodatud teisipäeval, 17. veebruaril kell 10.15 Annelinna raamatukogu (Kaunase pst 23) hoovi, kus tähistatakse vastlapäeva kahe suure lumeskulptuuri avamisega.

🛷🐕 Soovijatel on võimalus proovida tõukekelguga sõitmist – see on lihtne ja lõbus viis talvel liikumiseks, mis pakub nii elevust kui ka väikest sportlikku väljakutset. Lisaks saab tutvuda kelgukoerte põneva maailmaga – saab näha ja kuulda, kuidas need energilised koerad treenivad, milline on nende igapäevaelu ning mida tähendab koerarakendi koostöö ja usaldus.

Sündmus toimub koostöös Tartu linna ja ClimaGen projektiga.
