Maajaam was happy to host another Magic Carpets art residency “Celestial Bodies”, curated by Ann Mirjam Vaikla, that is part of the Tartu 2024 European Capital of Culture’s programme. This time four artists Eglė Šimėnaitė, Juss Heinsalu, Marit Mihklepp and Piibe Kolka were working for three weeks in Maajaam and Tartu Observatory in Tõravere. The residency was focused on the dialogue between the artists and the space centre’s scientists – and how that dialogue influenced artists’ creative work. In parallel artists-in-residency were researching folklore connected to astronomy that used to be an important part of the old Estonians way of living.
