Does the photo depict a group of AKEN women gathered together in order to take stock of AKEN Esto Boutique’s inventory in preparation for AKEN’s Blue-Black-White anniversary celebration and sale of Estonian handicrafts and artifacts? Seems unlikely, considering the fact that the AKEN women are closely heeding the government’s edict to “STAY HOME, STAY SAFE & SAVE LIVES!” More likely depicted is a group of ethnographically attired and masked “dummies” recruited for the purposes of a photo op to accompany AKEN’s announcement that the Blue-Black-White celebration and sale will take place in APRIL 2021! And a joyful celebration it will be with handshakes and hugs all around! “Per aspera ad astra!”
