Southern Estonia is home to people from over 80 different ethnic groups. The region’s diverse landscape also provides habitat for many other biological species.
As we traverse familiar paths and interact with those in our local community, we grow accustomed to seeing and interpreting the world in a certain way. Yet, alongside us are many other paths where one can encounter intriguing people, as well as plants, birds, and insects. They carry unique knowledge and experience the world in their distinct ways—by getting a glimpse into their experiences, our understanding of the world is enriched.
The art route along the edge of Southern Estonia weaves together familiar and unknown paths, bringing us closer to each other. Although peripheries are often seen as insignificant because they are far from the center, they are also places where meanings can be richer and more dynamic. Peripheries can separate but also connect. By stepping closer to our personal boundaries, standing on the edge, we might find boundless openness and joy.
