 <\/p>\n

By organizing thematic days dedicated to garage culture, the museum aims to bring together people from different fields for whom a garage means far more than an 18\u2011square\u2011meter space for a car, to enhance the value of garage culture and to strengthen a sense of community. The thematic days explore various facets of garage culture: garage culture and urban space; garages and creativity; garages and entrepreneurship. In cooperation with the exhibition curator (Aleksandra Ianchenko), the artists participating in the exhibition (Andrei Kedrin \/ Aleksandra Ianchenko), and entrepreneurs (IKIGI and other businesses), the program includes lectures, workshops, a bicycle garage tour, and a garage sale.<\/p>\n

On 1 March, from 12:00 to 13:00, there will be a guided tour of the exhibition \u201cGaraa\u017e. \u0413\u0430\u0440\u0430\u0436. Garage\u201d<\/strong>
\nwith Professor of Urban Studies at Tallinn University, Tauri Tuvikene, followed by a lecture in Estonian titled \u201cGarages and Garage Complexes.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his lecture, exhibition consultant Professor Tauri Tuvikene will draw on his research to discuss the history, current use, and future of garage areas. Garages are not merely spaces<\/p>\n

for cars; they are extensions of the home and spaces of possibility. Garage complexes are clusters of such garages, sometimes numbering in the hundreds or even thousands. They emerged as a phenomenon of Soviet society, part of its car culture and \u201chamster society,\u201d in which, under conditions of scarcity, people had to acquire necessary items on their own and store them somewhere. Although the need for storage is no longer the same, garages have not disappeared, and a new generation is rediscovering the possibilities of this space.<\/p>\n

Tauri Tuvikene is a Professor of Urban Studies at Tallinn University. His research focuses on mobility, urban cultures, and post-socialism. Garages and garage complexes were the subject of his bachelor\u2019s thesis in 2007, and he has subsequently published scholarly articles on the topic in Landscape Research<\/em> as well as in Methis<\/em>. Although his research has since expanded to new research themes \u2013 most notably public transport as public space and participatory transport planning \u2013 garages and garage complexes remain the topic that most comprehensively brings together mobility, urban cultures, and (post-)socialism.<\/p>\n
