A Collaboration between Terje Toomistu and Kiwa Noid (Soviet Hippies Archive) and Ernesto Leal (Red Gallery).

Soviet Hippies is an ethnographic research observing Soviet society from a hippie point of view. The exhibition was designed to show the parallel universe during stagnation; the hippie movement within Brezhnev's regime and repressive measures. It is about the timeless freedom that breaks the rules and crosses boundaries, it is the hidden world that even Estonian people don't know much
