We offer companies, institutions and groups of friends an opportunity to have a family friendly Christmas party with games and a Santa in Tartu Nature House!
Christmas programme starts with educational and heartwarming family performance “List”.
This story binds joy, sorrow and patience with curiosity, diligent fatigue and shyness. A little girl finds herself in Elf land where she meets elves making preparations for Christmas. They are overwhelmed with requests, because children’s letters have become longer with each year. If and how the problem can be solved remains to be seen…

Through 14 artworks made by artists from 9 countries, the WasteArt project and travelling exhibition “NOT out of sight, NOT out of mind” invite you to look at the waste differently – as a material, resource and opportunities for the future! Tartu Nature House is hosting the exhibition 16.08-25.10.2019 and is open for all visitors during the opening hours. Entrance is with the house ticket.
The co-curator of the project Indrek Grigor describes the garbage catastrophe that the human kind is facing as a result of waste being something that is not talked about in polite companies. It is part of our daily lives, but yet we try to pretend as if it’s not there. “The majority of us perceive our garbage bin as a black hole, whatever is thrown into it has not only vanished from our households, it is believed to have left the realm of human liability”. There are no easy solutions for complex problems. As an individual facing corporate economy driven consumer culture and industrial waste production, one can feel lost and the situation may seem hopeless. One of the solutions the exhibition in this situation suggests, according to Grigor, is to be selfish about waste. You should consume less and reuse more, “But do it to save money, not the planet. It’s like quitting smoking. You save yourself and everything else is collateral “damage””, summarizes Grigor.
Participating artists:
Varvara & Mar Canet (EE)
