Dear colleague,
I am Marta Konovalov – designer, researcher, craftivist, mender and a gardener by heart, lecturer and a doctoral student at Estonian Academy of Arts. I act like a forager in my garden. I sow confusion to forage knowledge. The garden is a place for mundane practices and my practice-based research. I see a plot of land the same way I see a hole or a stain in a garment – as an opportunity to add layers and to engage. The survival of us, the gardeners, on this planet relies on our response-ability, resilience, care and adaptability, the ability to rethink the garden and our relationships with the garden.
I invite you to the periphery and to my garden at Viljandimaa. With the aim to investigate, entangle, respond, slow down, decompose patterns, regenerate, repair and shift the aesthetics. I will exhibit my practice of textile repair and the research artefacts.

This exhibition is part of the project PR02049 ”Artists and designers as researchers, rethinkers and partners of nature in the context of degrowth” funded by Estonian Ministry of Culture, where we, together with artist Jane Remm, develop creative research methods with the aim to engage with nature.
The Viljandi Heritage Festival introduces the phenomena of intangible cultural heritage and opens various perspectives of folk culture knowledge that help find economical solutions to economic and environmental problems; shares tips on how to bring changes to your own life and of course also brings various entertainment.
