Vabamu now hosts a new screen installation in its Freedom Hall, featuring interview-based documentary clips by U.S. filmmaker and Fulbright scholar Parker Watt. The screen will be on display until the end of 2025, offering visitors a chance to engage with contemporary stories of art, identity, and resilience.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

The videos are part of Resilient Expression: Ukrainian Artists in Estonia<\/em>, a documentary series that explores how Ukrainian artists living in Estonia use culture as a form of resilience, self-expression, and quiet resistance in a time of war. The series was first presented publicly at Vabamu on October 17.<\/p>\n

Resilient Expression<\/em> consists of 11 interview-based episodes, each highlighting a different Ukrainian artist or collective. Filmed over the course of a year, the series captures artists both in conversation and at work, allowing their personal stories to unfold through music, visual art, performance, and other creative forms.<\/p>\n

This project has been made possible by the Fulbright Student Research Grant as well as the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies\u2019 Baumanis Grant for Creative Projects in Baltic Studies.<\/p>\n

Parker participated in the Stanford Global Studies internship at Skytte Institute assisting with the University of Tartu Ukraine Centre in summer 2023. The internship program is coordinated by Vabamu and is part of\u00a0Stanford-Baltics Exchange Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
