CONCENTRIC CUCUMBERS (LIVE)

The concert, "Concentric Cucumbers at Keskturg," seeked to capture a pivotal moment in the market's history. Music sounding through the markets history while resonating with the contemporary city in transition. This event invites to reflect on the broader cultural shifts shaping Tallinn's identity.​

Keskturg, established in 1947 in Tallinn, Estonia. It shows some of the city's complex history and evolving socio cultural context. The market has been a place where vendors offer all the goods of daily need, build in a period marked by the Soviet supression of Estonia.

Tallinn transforms connecting with Central Europe and modernizing. The redevelopment of the Baltic Station Market (Balti Jaama Turg) serves as a example, where the old has been replaced with contemporary eateries offering sushi, burgers, and trendy items, catering to the Instagram and TikTok generation.​The Baltic Guide Online -+3ERR+3Astri Grupp+3

Keskturg is in a similar transformation. The Astri Group, which acquired the market property in 2019, has initiated plans for extensive renovations. While the market continues to operate in its traditional form, changes are underway to modernize its facilities and offerings. These developments aim to enhance the shopping experience, incorporating contemporary design and amenities. The building will be replaced. The affordability at Keskturg will diminish; a cup of coffee that previously cost €0.50 is anticipated to be priced at €3, as noted by a local coffee shop owner.​Astri Grupp+4The Baltic Guide Online -+4Astri Grupp+4
