Pikk 34 - Former headquarters of Siuru literary movement
In this house the headquarters of the literary movement Siuru were located. Siuru, named after a fire-bird in Finno-Ugrian mythology, was founded in 1917. It was an expressionist and neo-romantic movement that also had an affinity with futurism and impressionism. Siuru's philosophy stressed the freedom of the human spirit. Mottos of the group included 'Carpe diem!' and 'May the joy of creation be our only moving Force!'. The group's symbol was white chrysanthemum. A major result of Siuru's activities was popularization of literature among Estonian people, leading to active development of original Estonian literature in the young Republic of Estonia. While the movement itself was short-lived (1917-1919), its members Marie Under, Artur Adson, August Alle, Johannes Barbarus, August Gailit, Johannes Semper, Friedebert Tuglas and Henrik Visnapuu all rose to be major figures in Estonian literature of the XX century.
