Siuru, Tartu’s new Cultural Centre, will open in 2029. Excitement is high, but so are the questions: What will it be like? What will happen there? And since it’s about culture, the questions run deeper – what is art, culture, language? And… what is Siuru? A cultural centre – or a magical wonderbird from Estonian mythology?
Siuru may stand in Tartu’s heart, but its true heart is the people. Those who pass through its pillars will shape its meaning, making it what it is. Not a cage for culture, but a platform to set it free.
