In summer 2023, we sent out a call to our colleagues, friends and acquaintances to take part in the activities to adapt the house located at Uus 35 in Valga into a residency and a meeting place for spatial artists. The sessions were spread over two weeks in August: 31.07.–6.08. and 21.–27.08.
During this time, we collectively took on and shared tasks that focused on construction and repair, collection and reuse of old materials, and installation of functions necessary for life in the residency. With the power of group work, we managed to freshen up the lobby area, create a brand new kitchen and dining space, as well as a spa bathroom, all mostly using repurposed elements.
On Saturday, August 26th, we held an open doors day for locals and a party to celebrate with all the helpers. Altogether, over 30 volunteers came to paint, build, clean, tile, invent, discuss, cook and/or hang out. We thank them all very much!
