DEMONSTRATION IN TANK GALLERY

14 March - 4 April, in gallery TANK

Joonmeedia’s artproject “Demonstration” is dealing with the concerns and hopes of teachers and education workers and helps to keep in focus their needs.

“Demonstration” is our mini-support to the teachers in the walking gallery TANK. The national strike against low wages and overtime jobs took place in 7-9 March 2012. Over 17,000 teachers from all the counties in Estonia took part from the strike. Supporting strikes took place among transport and health workers, sailors and rescuers.

“Demonstration” relates with strikes in many more European countries which take place due to social and cultural situations. People start to strike when there is no other choice left to have a normal dialogue with decision makers and politicians. Strikes help to create a sense of togetherness and raises our low self-esteem.

We have approached the different problems by using drawing based art and encoded commentaries using metaphors. “Demonstration” was first exhibited 14 March – 4 April 2012 in moving gallery TANK which takes art closer to the people and public spaces.
