This winter, I’m collecting all the pieces of urban art around Tallinn which were done as a part of the Mextonia project. This was an urban art project in June 2017 which has left Tallinn with beautiful artwork all over the city.
Here’s a description from Todoesuno:
Mextonia is the festival of “Transgrafiti Muralism” that celebrates deep cultural roots of Estonia, through murals created in public walls by Transgrafiti artists, as a gift from Mexico to Estonia, on occasion of the first Centennial of the Republic of Estonia, and the arrival of the Presidency of the Council of the European Union to Tallinn.
There were 60 artists with murals spread across 25 locations. I believe there are a total of 30 pieces of art although it’s hard to get exact details. My plan is to try to discover and photograph all of them over the winter.
