2025 marks the 500th anniversary of the first book in Estonian language, and it will be celebrated across Estonia. The motto of the Year of the Estonian Book 2025 is ‘A people begins with a book’, and inspired by this, Prima Vista 2025 will focus on literary mapping and reflection of Tartu, Estonia and places around the world. As the subject of a literary work, each place will become more visible and perceptible, and will acquire meaning and value. Through translations, the written place also finds its place on the world map of other cultures.
The patron of Prima Vista 2025 is Kai Aareleid and the partner city is Valga.
See you at the festival 5-11 May 2025!
