”Hello Mister Police Officer” – a touring exhibition about the hearty street art scene of a small university town called Tartu, Estonia welcomes you at The Print Room gallery, Aberdeen on the 7–17 of June as part of the NuArt festival programme.

Street art is often thought of in connection with big cities such as London, New York, or Berlin. This exhibition is about the street art scene of Tartu, a small wooden town with only 100 000 inhabitants, that is now called the street art capital of Estonia. We believe that public space belongs to everyone and our job is to take care of it. We believe that the purpose of street art is to enrich public space. We also see the humour in getting caught by the police and trying to explain why the walls are “talking to us” and asking for colour.

The exhibition “Hello Mister Police Officer” tells a story about small-town Robin Hoods who are breaking the law in order to bring art to the streets, make the environment more meaningful, fun and personal.

The exhibition focuses on the work of four artists from Tartu, European Capital of Culture 2024, who share a common interest in working in public space: KAIRO, Stina Leek, GUTFACE and Edward von Lõngus.

The exhibition is organized by the international street art festival Stencibility and is part of the NuArt Aberdeen festival and the European Capital of Culture Tartu 2024 programme in Europe.
