Tallinn's Ministry of Curiousness returns with art, film, and music this spring
The Goethe-Institut Tallinn is relaunching its Ministry of Curiousness this spring, running from March 14 to mid-May. The programme will feature over 15 cultural and educational events across the city. Organisers hope to spark curiosity and encourage public engagement through art, film, and music.
The season kicks off on March 29 with the first screening of the film series Visible: Queer Stories of Growing Up and Freedom. This will be followed in April by Sophie Kirchner's open-air photo exhibition Staying, displayed on Tallinn's Freedom Square.
German music ensembles will tour Estonia in April, performing in Tallinn, Pärnu, and Tartu. Meanwhile, the *Lautstark* project—a collaboration of German learners from across Estonia—will culminate in a final concert on May 9. Earlier that month, the Estonian Museum of Applied Arts and Design will host the exhibition *The Whole World a Bauhaus*. Markus Köcher, manager of the cultural programme, emphasises how art can provoke questions and foster dialogue. Helen Aedla, head of language programmes, supports teachers and learners by expanding access to German language resources. Maren Niemeyer, director of the Goethe-Institut Tallinn, describes the initiative as a way to inspire exploration and connection.
The Ministry of Curiousness runs until mid-May, offering a mix of exhibitions, performances, and discussions. All events are open to the public, with details available through the Goethe-Institut. The programme aims to bring together diverse audiences through shared cultural experiences.
