ARTIVISMI

Artivism Gathering at the Nordic House

In collaboration with the Nordic House, Átak, and Art Without Borders, Listvinnslan invites Artivists in Iceland to a creative gathering at the Nordic House.

We will engage in conversations about art and activism while working on our own projects. Participants are welcome to bring their own materials, but there will also be supplies available on-site, including paints, paper, yarn, and more.

Alongside the event, we will compile a list of artists, crafters, and creators who use their work as a form of activism.
