Μy name is Myrsini and I was the ESC volunteer for TYPA back in 2021. Coming from sunny Athens, Greece to Estonia was a hard but wonderful journey,  because from the first moment I became part of the team. A team that helped me to express my ideas, make them happen and create workshops on my own. Also I had the joy to learn how to use some machines and next to artists assist them and create exhibitions.

I cherish moments of eating together, having sauna moments and parties all together that helped me to understand the culture of Estonia. It was truly an amazing experience and even know I remember all the times with such a joy, especially my favorite thing that was providing tours and meeting new people from around the world.

Hey hey for anyone who is reading! It’s quite challenging to sum up my experience at TYPA in a few sentences but I’ll try!
I’m very glad that places such as TYPA exist. There is so much to learn from both the space and the people working there. In my year spent there I was able to put my hands in a field that I am really fond of.

I had a great chance to meet a lot of interesting people starting from people who came to various TYPA’s workshops, museum tours and the artists in residence who come every few months and bring new different energy and share their experiences and unique practices. It was a great experience being part of the team putting up some very beautiful and interesting exhibitions and getting creative about how to do it and do it in time.

I also developed a love for the paper kitchen and I’m glad that I got a chance to learn such a unique thing as handmade paper-making and to have had the space to experiment was a highlight! The time at TYPA was creatively adventurous and with many possibilities to learn and meet creative people in such a funky town as Tartu!
