This third and last event will be held in English and this time we will be focusing on interspecies storytelling, apples, the end of the world, plant blindness and musical expression in the Anthropocene.<\/p>\n<p>The creative fields are influential within society and serve important roles as communicators of new concepts and ideas. They can be driving forces for social paradigm shifts, and for creating new norms. It is important to foster an open and fertile dialogue between science and art and for these fields to support each other, exchange ideas and communicate while searching for creative solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the event series, we gather people from the creative fields and science to discuss sustainability and opportunities that may be found in interdisciplinary endeavors between the different fields. The aim is to make connections and inspire and strengthen this dialogue.<\/p>\n<h3>Program<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cApples and Apocalypse\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Karl \u00c1g\u00fast \u00deorbergsson &#8211; Performance Maker and Assistant Professor and Program Director at the Performance and Theatre Making course at the Iceland University of the Arts<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConversations from Shared Worlds\u201d<br \/>\nBrynd\u00eds Sn\u00e6bj\u00f6rnsd\u00f3ttir, Professor of Fine Arts, Iceland University of Arts and Mark Wilson, Professor of Fine Art, University of Cumbria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeyond plant blindness\u201d<br \/>\nDawn Sanders &#8211; Associate Professor at the Faculty of Education, University of Gothenburg<\/p>\n<p>Music performance by S\u00f3ley Stef\u00e1nsd\u00f3ttir<\/p>\n<p>Q&amp;A<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After the event, at 18.30 there will be an opportunity to take part in a guided tour of the exhibition <a href=\"https:\/\/nordichouse.is\/en\/event\/time-matter-remains-trouble\/\">TIME MATTER REMAINS TROUBLE<\/a> in the Nordic House exhibition space, Hvelfing.
