The title of the exhibition \u201cThe Dark Night of the Soul\u201d comes from the Spanish Catholic mystic Saint John the Baptist, who thus described the soul\u2019s journey through darkness towards light. \u201cThe Dark Night of the Soul\u201d <em>(La noche oscura del alma)<\/em> symbolizes the spiritual crisis that a person must go through before reaching spiritual purification.<br>Carl Gustav Jung interpreted the dark night of the soul as a psychological transformation \u2013 a time when a person faces their shadow. The dark night of the soul is a time of inner change, when everything old disappears so that the new can be born. Darkness carries the potential where the possibility of light shines.<br>Combining the work of four contemporary artists Michele Bazzoli, Manfred Dubov, Helena Keskk\u00fcla and Roman-Sten T\u00f5nissoo with works and objects from the collections of the Saaremaa Museum, the exhibition can be viewed and experienced as a ritual journey towards light through a dim forest and a stormy sea. This is an exhibition about wandering and self-searching, hope and hopelessness, the beauty of the melancholy of the soul and the importance of metamorphoses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Participating artists:<\/strong> Michele Bazzoli, Manfred Dubov, Eerik Haamer, Tiit Ilves, Helena Keskk\u00fcla, Valli Lember-Bogatkina, Faina M\u00e4nnik, Roman-Sten T\u00f5nissoo, Salome Trei, objects from the collections of the Saaremaa Museum<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Curators:<\/strong> Helena Keskk\u00fcla &amp; Roman-Sten T\u00f5nissoo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Graphic design:<\/strong> Henri Kutsar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thanks to:<\/strong> Cultural Endowment of Estonia, Saaremaa Museum, Kuressaare Castle Museum<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Exhibition open Wed\u2013Sun 11 am\u20136 pm, admission with museum ticket<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21.11.2025.\u201328.03.2026 The curatorial exhibition \u201cThe Dark Night of the Soul\u201d is a visual journey in three acts.
