Few weeks ago I visited Estonian National Archive with my photography class students from Tamme Gymnasium in Tartu. We were taken on a really informative and thorough tour through many floors of the newly opened building called Noora by Birgit Kibal, who is putting lots of her energy into making archive fun and active place to! I was very inspired by her!
We were able to take photos of whatever we wanted, and while we did so, she provided us with very valuable information about what we were taking photos of. She did a lovely post with the help of her colleague, who helped to choose the photos from all the photos we took there, which you can see HERE. Unfortunately it is in Estonian.
Translation of the photo below goes something like this:
Paper poetry
Written memory of Estonia through the photographic lens of Tamme Gymnasium students.
To learn the nuances of photography, you do not have to travel far to nature and do not dive into a city hall, but you can come to the archives. To make paper and ink, leather and cardboard, metal and concrete come alive.
Thank you to the teacher, Kerly Ilves and everyone who took the pictures.
