Some of the central figures of the conference will be the polymath musician Barry Adamson who has enlivened British music for decades – from playing bass in the most influential bands of the 20th century to working with the film industry's intriguing mavericks like Derek Jarman and David Lynch. The keynote speaker on the role of arts in regeneration of cities is Gunvor Kronman, who has put arts in charge of economy in Helsinki.
Burning questions within and beyond music
TMW Talks creates a public friendly arena for battling hot topics within and beyond music culture AD 2019 starting with an honest look in the mirror. What goes on in the hearts and minds as well as purses and wallets of showcase festivals will be shared in a candid discussion about best and worst practices. Television will be put on the spot as its role reflecting the changing music culture is on the brink of becoming obsolete. On the soft and cuddly end of the spectre, some old punks will show up to celebrate Stupido Records' 30th anniversary with style. Dare to hear and come armed with questions!
Art saves
A special programme of contemporary arts curated by the Estonian Contemporary Art Development Center (ECADC). The gallery evening with extended opening hours called Tallinn Thursday includes projects from both Estonian and international artists, group and solo exhibitions.
We couldn't imagine Creative City with gray walls and, frankly, we don't have a memory like that. On Saturday 30th March a street art tour will take place in the Creative City of Telliskivi, which will look into the interior of the works of art, while trying to remember whether there was ever a pre-street art era in Telliskivi.
On Friday 29th March Estonian Design Center invites TMW visitors to a curated design tour around the Telliskivi Creative City. The tour will focus on introducing Creative City-based designers who are running their studios with circular economy principles in mind. They will share their thoughts on why sustainability is a major topic and why both designers and consumers should set their eyes on it.
