PÕHULA(va) / 1+ X

PÕHULA(va) is a straw installation in Paide, Estonia. The installation was used as a stage for the Paide Opinion Festival's Energetic Economy Area in August 2024. The name "PÕHULA(va)" is derived from the Estonian words "põhk," meaning "straw," and "lava," meaning "stage." Therefore, the installation's name translates to "straw stage" in English. Beyond its role as a stage, the installation also functions as a pavilion, gallery, and outdoor classroom. Because of that the name "PÕHULA" highlights the relaxed, straw-filled atmosphere of the space, which invites people to gather and interact in a casual, organic setting.
