On the final day of the Other-Grounds Film Festival, we gather around the theme of Passing Down Knowledge<\/em>\u2014a day devoted to intergenerational wisdom, emotional awareness, and the stories we share for a more connected future. Join us for two deeply engaging and participatory events that center care, creativity, and collective reflection.<\/p>\n 12:00\u201313:00<\/strong> This guided sharing circle invites participants to step back from the urgency of activism and gently sit with the feelings that often go unspoken\u2014grief, frustration, hope, exhaustion. Through grounding practices, reflection, and the option to share in community, we\u2019ll hold space for vulnerability, healing, and mutual care. This is not a space for fixing, but for feeling, witnessing, and being witnessed.<\/p>\n Because tending to our emotional well-being is an essential part of sustaining meaningful change.<\/p>\n 15:30\u201316:30<\/strong> Together, we\u2019ll explore Icelandic folklore and environmental storytelling by imagining the lives of glacier ghosts<\/em>\u2014spirits dwelling in alpine and aquatic ecosystems. Participants will create drawings and paper sculptures inspired by these tales, forming a shared vision of ecological memory and future care.<\/p>\n The resulting artworks will journey onward to be exhibited at the SAARI art residency in Finland in summer 2025, continuing the conversation across borders and generations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Other-Grounds filmfestival \u00e4r ett m\u00e5ngkulturellt och gemensamt initiativ som utforskar vad det inneb\u00e4r att vara m\u00e4nniska p\u00e5 jorden \u2013 och hur vi kan skapa ansvarstagande och meningsfulla relationer till naturen och varandra.
