6th INTERNATIONAL POTATOPRINT FESTIVAL
August 12–14th 2011
Kabala Community Center, Sauna 2, Kabala village, Türi parish, Järva county, Estonia.
This years theme is “Kiri” * – pattern, font, script.
*Word “kiri” is an ancient Baltic-Finnic word and means at the same time patterns and patternmaking, letters, fonts and writing. In old phraseology it meant even bible and other books as books were patterned with letters.
In this years festival we will ponder over these different aspects of Estonian word “kiri”. Different lectures and workshops connected with patterns, fonts and writing will take place.
In addition we will also continue using natural colours in potatoprinting and print textiles and wallpapers with potato.
Lectures and workshops:
“Patternmind, letter-language – Estonian national ornament” Reet Talimaa (EST) – textile artist
“Writer on abroad – emigration as escapism” Vahur Afanasjev (EST) – writer
“Angular Estonian fonts” Mart Anderson (EST) – graphic designer
“Red bugs and Indigoblue” Ulla Lapiolahti (FIN) – textile artist

Kolmapäeval 26. jaanuaril avatakse Eesti Rahva Muuseumi Näitusemajas näitus:
“VIIS AASTAT KARTULITRÜKI FESTIVALI” kus on näha paremik viiel Rahvusvahelisel Kartulitrüki Festivalil valminud töödest. Näitus on osa näituseprojektist "Euroopa maitsed", mida saab näha käesoleva aasta 25. septembrini.
“Euroopa maitsed” on 9 Euroopa muuseumi koostöös valmiv näitus, mis räägib eurooplaste toidust, selle tootmisest ja tarbimisest nii minevikus kui ka tänapäeval. Näitus kutsub inimesi kaasa mõtlema igapäevase toidu teemadel ning juhib vaataja tähelepanu sellele, kuidas meie igapäevased ostuotsused keskkonda mõjutavad. Iga muuseum on välja valinud ühe oma maa jaoks tähtsa toiduaine ning dokumenteerinud selle tootmist ning rolli igapäevaelus. Valituks osutusid järgmised: Sloveenia ja mesi, Rootsi ja piim, Ungari ja nisu, Taani ja sealiha, Tšehhi ja õlu, Soome ja leib, Šotimaa ja kala, Portugal ja oliiviõli ning Eesti ja kartul.
