The North - Educational Material
The exhibition is accompanied by an educational space and the exhibitionThe North in the children’s library of the Nordic House, developed in collaboration with elementary schools in Reykjavík. The projects encourage students and visitors to explore climate change through creativity, dialogue, and reflection, and to examine how scientific knowledge, artistic approaches, and physical experience intertwine.
During the exhibition period (February–May 2026), a series of workshops, lectures, and seminars will bring together artists, scholars, teachers, and young people from across Iceland. These activities culminate in the children’s exhibition The North, which will be part of the Reykjavík Children’s Culture Festival. In this way, the themes of Ripples are carried into new contexts across generations and communities
Symposium: Art Education for the Climate
The symposium Art Education for the Climate was held on Saturday, February 7th. Please note that the first part of the symposium was conducted in English and the second part in Icelandic.
"The Arctic is changing rapidly. Glaciers are melting and weather patterns are shifting. These changes spread like ripples and affect people, animals, and the entire planet. The exhibition Ripples: Transformations in the Arctic shows how artists explore these changes. It reminds us that small actions matter and that we all share responsibility for the future of the Arctic.”
