On Sunday 8 February from 13:00 to 15:00, Hafnarborg will host a multilingual collage workshop where participants create their dream home and reflect on what matters to them, what they want in a home, and what they dream about. The workshop uses collage combined with drawing, letting ideas of home grow freely from the imagination. Animals, fantastical shapes, and houses floating through space are all welcome here. The workshop languages are Czech, Icelandic, English and German, led by Marie Vesela and Anne Rombach.
The workshop takes place on the ground floor of the museum and is open to all age groups. No previous artistic experience is required, but children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. As always, participation in workshops and admission to the museum’s exhibitions are free of charge.
In My Language is an event series aimed at improving access to Hafnarborg for people with diverse backgrounds by welcoming guests in different languages. The event is a collaboration between Hafnarborg and the association GETA, which promotes inclusion and positive multiculturalism through a variety of events and social activities. The project is funded by the Museum Fund.
Marie Vesela is an art teacher from Prague, Czech Republic, and founded the Reykjavík Collage Club in 2023 (www.rvkcollageclub.com). She emphasizes a gentle and open approach and encourages everyone to find their own way into the creative process, where exploration and joy matter more than the final result.
Anne Rombach is a German artist who lives and works in Iceland. She studied photography at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig and completed an MA in Fine Arts at the Iceland University of the Arts, where she is currently pursuing further studies in Arts and Welfare.
