On Thursday, October 30th at 20:00, you are warmly invited to a poetry evening held in connection with Hafnarborg’s autumn exhibition Algjörar skvísur. Curators Petra Hjartardóttir and Jasa Baka will perform poems by Jóhannes S. Kjarval, Hrefna Sigurðardóttir, and Gunnþórunn Sveinsdóttir, among others. On this occasion, Hulda Vilhjálmsdóttir will also read her own poems, and Dýrfinna Benita Basalan will perform poems by writers who have influenced her artistic work.
The poetry night builds on the exhibition’s exploration of softness, power, and feminine energy in contemporary art, shedding light on how art manifests itself in both poetry and imagery. The exhibition revolves around various expressions of sweetness, divine and mythical feminine archetypes, and the spirituality that views (Mother) Nature as a living being. These ideas are examined in relation to people, places, and objects—particularly now, as one might say that feminine archetypes are emerging from their hiding places and transforming 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 curators are Jasa Baka and Petra Hjartardóttir.
