On Wednesday October 20th at 7:00 PM (EDT), Anti Lillak of Eesti Rahva Muuseum (the Estonian National Museum) will give us a tour of the museum’s exhibit Echo of the Urals, that explores the identity and lives of Finno-Ugric nations.
The exhibition is dedicated to the Finno-Ugric indigenous peoples without their own statehood who inhabit an immense swath of land from Scandinavia in the northern part of Eurasia and the Baltic Sea to the Taymyr Peninsula and Yenisei River in Siberia. The Finno-Ugric are settled down to – in some areas – the Danube and the Volga River, in the south. The central idea of the exhibition is inspired by the differences between the daily activities, rituals and traditional art of Finno-Ugric women and men.
Access it on Zoom by entering the meeting ID number 828 1614 5163.
