Night of Museums programme

17.00 - Exhibition "The Closed Book. Opening of the "Closed Book" - Women's stories on the industrial landscape
Based on the principles of costume therapy and therapeutic photography, the exhibition explores women's identity and self-expression in an industrial environment. Theatre artist and therapist Kristi Leppik, in collaboration with therapeutic photographer Erika Tuulik,carried out a unique creative process that resulted in installations and portrait photographs. "When we put on something new, something that is out of our everyday comfort zone, our posture, behaviour and self-expression begins to change. It opens up new perspectives and helps us see ourselves and others in a new light," says Kristi Leppik, describing the deeper meaning of the exhibition.

The musical background for the opening of the exhibition and the performer of the mini-concert (30 min) is BFM student Villem Richard Eplik..
