GLACIER GHOSTS – Storytelling & Drawing Workshop

GLACIER GHOSTS / GLETSCHERGEISTER – Storytelling & Drawing Workshop

Led by Christoph Matt of the Sympoietic Society art collective, this participatory workshop welcomes children and adults alike into a world where glaciers whisper stories through ice and imagination.

Together, we’ll explore Icelandic folklore and environmental storytelling by imagining the lives of glacier ghosts—spirits 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.

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.
