„NUDE” special tour: sexual empowerment advocate Kristina Birk-Vellemaa

This time, we push the boundaries of the "NUDE" exhibition together with sexual empowerment advocate Kristina Birk-Vellemaa. Among all her roles, sexual empowerment advocate is Kristina’s favorite title, as through her work she empowers individuals and society to become happier, more sex-positive, and freer. With 20 years of experience in training, Kristina’s life has become inseparably intertwined with topics of sexuality, pleasure activism, and sex-positivity through learning, growth, and experience. In this special tour, she will illuminate the path on these topics.

What discussions, opinions, and questions does the perspective of 32 female artists of evoke in Kristina at Fotografiska's autumn season-opening exhibition "NUDE"? You’ll hear all about it during this inspiring special tour from the viewpoint of a sexologist, anthropologist, sex coach, and sexual education expert. Perhaps this tour will also encourage visitors to spend less time on self-regulation and instead find inspiration in spontaneous and liberating joy.

Exhibition „NUDE”

Autumn at Fotografiska begins with a powerful start – on September 13th, the exhibition 'NUDE' opens its doors, showcasing the work of 32 female artists exploring the theme of the nude body. Among them are Estonian artistst Cloe Jancis and Marlen Kärema. Through various creative approaches, the exhibition breaks away from traditional depictions of the nude body, presenting it in all its shameless honesty and glory, with contemporary freshness and freedom from constraints, all seen through the female gaze. The result is an environment where expected roles no longer apply, habitual perspectives shift, and power hierarchies are overturned.
