While studying semiotics in Estonia, he researched on history of bear dress codes as integral part of bear culture's visual identity and presented his research at a Queer studies conference in Bucharest.
At Tallinn Bearty, he will, as only one nerd and an otter can, pay his respect to all the bears by giving a lecture Between Art, Fashion And (sub)Culture: Visual Identity of Bears.
The lecture will explore historical aspects which led to the formation of bear culture and its visual codes on the example of art and fashion.
