- Bring Your Own Utopia was a creative collaboration project initiated by Tartu International Literary Festival Prima Vista and Tartu UNESCO City of Literature. To explore the creative potential of artistic collaboration and utopian and dystopian visions, Tartu City of Literature and Prima Vista invited five writers from other cities of literature to join forces with us. They each spent a month in residency in Tartu before the festival, collaborating with a local artist to create five new works that connect verbal art, other artistic fields, and the urban environment by May 2024.
During Prima Vista 2024, the results of the project were introduced: an installation “Once was mire. Siin oli soo" by Norwich poet Penny Boxall, Tartu’s current city writer Maarja Pärtna, and musician and (sound) artist Liis Ring; verbal and auditory walk “Walk through the times of me, you and us” led by Heidelberg writer Anne Richter and Estonian musician Argo Vals, an installation "Crossing" by. Ásta Fanney Sigurðardóttir, a poet, visual artist, and musician from Reykjavík and Estonian artist Timo Toots; an installation by Ukrainian poet and video artist Olha Povoroznyk and Estonian artist Eike Eplik, and a storytelling event titled “The Forest of Ink and Skin”, created by Manchester writer David Hartley and interdisciplinary Estonian artist Henri Hütt.
