The exhibition “Forever Youthful. A student song and dance celebration Gaudeamus" curated by Triin Suumann and designed by Janno Preesalu is open in the library of the Estonian University of Life Sciences.

 

Traditions arise from maintaining a skilful balance between the old and the new. Of course, there have been suggestions on how to better organise the celebration, but who would be able to predict which of them would add vitality and which would make the party unknown. Student song and dance celebration are, by their very nature, constantly changing: firstly, it is dictated by a constantly changing student body, and secondly, by different venues. Now also ballroom dancers, gymnasts, actors and folk musicians have joined the celebrations, in addition to choir singers, folk dancers and instrumentalists. The content is updated, but the form remains the same.

 

We are glad to invite you to see the exhibition until November 24.
