The art festival “Ma Ei Saa Aru“, which means in English “I Don’t Understand”, is a great multi disciplinary event which is held annually since 2021 at the Telliskivi Loomelinnak, the “Creative City”. In its first edition on 10th and 11th July in 2021 there was also the MESA graffiti jam included in the festival and numerous urban artworks got sprayed at the graffiti backyard and around the permisses. The festival focuses on one field of art each year and opens up its understanding in a variety of ways for both active art lovers and those who need a little friendly nudge to grow their interest and overcome the feeling expressed in the festival’s title. In 2023, the focus of the festival was on sound art. As a whole the entire Kalamaja neighbourhood is an artists’ quarter and has paint on the walls from top to bottom. Due to the big amount of photo material, we have divided the area into several pages. More works can be found on the Telliskivi Loomelinnak main page, on the Graffiti Collection page and on the page for the graffiti jam BALTIC SESSION in 2013. The first photos are from a visit in July 2019, more were added by the world explorers Thomas Adventurer and Diana Beekvelt, also known as NOMADS ON WHEELS in August 2023. They have been traveling around Estonia with their VW LT28 van at that time. You can check their website, Instagram, Facebook or Youtube to see where they are currently around and follow their exciting adventures.
