On Saturday, August 30th at 14, we welcome you to an artist and curator talk with Darsha Hewitt, Gunnhildur Hauksdóttir, and Veronica Brovall, all of whom have work in Hafnarborg’s autumn exhibition, “Algjörar skvísur.” They will lead a tour of the exhibition, discuss their own artistic creations, and share the origin and subject matter of their pieces. They will also talk about the exhibition’s philosophy along with curators Jasa Baka and Petra Hjartardóttir. Please note that the discussion will be primarily in English.

The exhibition invites guests to explore themes related to softness, power, and feminine energy in contemporary art. The show revolves around different manifestations of sweetness, divine and mythical feminine archetypes, and the spiritualism that sees (Mother) Nature as a continuously shifting entity. These ideas are examined in relation to how they apply to people, places, and things, particularly as feminine archetypes are emerging from their hiding places and transforming our understanding of identity and balance.

The artists with work in the exhibition are 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 curators are Jasa Baka and Petra Hjartardóttir.

Admission is free—everyone is welcome.
