Üldinfo

As a member of the Riigikogu, I will contribute to the culture and education sector as well as to shaping a healthy living environment and considerate and inclusive society. Culture and creative industries are part of the modern economy: successful economy supports culture, and culture gives value to business.
As an artist, I wish to increase the importance of visual culture and design and architecture in the analysis of Acts concerning public space.
