Dýrafundir – Fjölskylduvinnustofa

Hefur þú einhvertíman hitt dýr og hefur aldrei getað gleymt því síðan? Eða hefur þú heyrt ótrúlega sögu um dýr?

Í vinnustofunni fá gestir tækifæri til þess að deila sögum um dýr og sögum af samskiptum þeirra við dýr með því að teikna teiknimyndasögur með aðstoð atvinnufólks í teiknimyndasögugerð frá Finnlandi. Mögulegt verður að gera stutta teiknimyndasögu eða byrja á lengri teiknimyndasögu sem hægt er að ljúka við heima.

Kennararnir eru Hannariina Moisseinen og Tehri Ekebom, en þau eru bæði listafólk frá Finnlandi sem fást við teiknimyndasögugerð og þau eru þar að auki meðlimir í listahópnum Kutikuti collective. Verk þeirra er hægt að sjá í nýrri sýningu á göngum bókasafns Norræna hússins. Tungumál vinnustofuna verða finnska, sænska og enska.

Aðgangur að vinnustofunni er fyrir og öll eru velkomin!
