On Sunday, October 26th, at 14, you are warmly invited to an Artist and Curator Talk with Berglind Ágústsdóttir, Hildur Ása Henrýsdóttir, Hulda Vilhjálmsdóttir, and Dýrfinna Benita Basalan, all of whom have works featured in Hafnarborg’s autumn exhibition Algjörar skvísur. They will guide guests through the exhibition, share insights into their artistic practice, the origins and themes of their works, and discuss the exhibition’s concept together with Petra Hjartardóttir, who curated the exhibition in collaboration with Jasa Baka.
The exhibition invites visitors to explore themes related to softness, power, and feminine energy in contemporary art. It revolves around diverse manifestations of sweetness, divine and mythical feminine archetypes, and the spirituality that views (Mother) Nature as a living, ever-changing being. These ideas are examined in relation to people, places, and objects—particularly now, as feminine archetypes emerge from hiding and transform our understanding of identity and balance.
Artists featured in the exhibition include Berglind Ágústsdóttir and Hrefna Sigurðardóttir, Darsha Hewitt and Svava Skúladóttir, Dýrfinna Benita Basalan and Róska, Gunnhildur Hauksdóttir and Gunnþórunn Sveinsdóttir, Hildur Ása Henrýsdóttir and Kíkó Korriró, Hulda Vilhjálmsdóttir and Jóhannes S. Kjarval, Veronica Brovall and Sóley Eiríksdóttir. The exhibition is curated by Jasa Baka and Petra Hjartardóttir.
Free admission – everyone welcome.
