SUMMARY:NORDIC TEXTILE TAKEOVER: THE COLD STITCH
DESCRIPTION:Scandinavia House\, in partnership with New York Textile Month\, is pleased to present the third iteration of NORDIC TEXTILE TAKEOVER\, an exhibition\, workshop series\, and symposium highlighting contemporary Nordic Textiles\, coinciding with NY Textile Month in New York City. Featuring an exhibition in the Scandinavia House gallery\, the program includes artist talks\, a reception\, and hands-on workshops. The exhibition opens on Friday\, September 4\, to Wednesday\, September 16\, 2026. More details will be announced shortly. \nTHE COLD STITCH is a Nordic textile collaboration project co-organized by Ragna Froda (ISL/US)\, Director of New York Textile Month\, and Emily Stoddart (CA)\, manager of exhibitions and community programs at Scandinavia House\, New York. The exhibition has been curated by Ragna Froda (ISL/US). \nABOUT THE COLD STITCH\nIn the Nordic countries\, stitching has long been more than decoration or domestic craft. It is a necessity\, a form of storytelling\, survival\, memory\, and care. In landscapes shaped by cold climates and long winters\, textiles have become vessels of warmth\, protection\, repair\, and continuity\, carrying traces of everyday life and cultural identity across generations. \nTHE COLD STITCH brings together artists from across Scandinavia whose practices engage with textiles as both material and language. Through quilting\, patchwork\, collage\, weaving\, hand embroidery\, sculptural textiles\, and visible and invisible stitching\, this exhibition explores how textile traditions have continued to evolve within contemporary art. The exhibition’s title refers both to the geography of the North\, the relationship with textiles and the act of stitching itself. \nA stitch repairs\, connects\, layers\, and transforms. It binds fragments together while allowing histories\, emotions\, reflections on the political climate\, and personal narratives to remain visible. Echoing this feature\, many of the works in the exhibition embrace reuse and transformation\, giving discarded fabrics\, garments\, yarns\, and textile remnants new meaning through the artistic process. \nTHE COLD STITCH celebrates textile art as a living and evolving practice deeply rooted in the cultures of the North\, where there is a strong tradition of working with textiles as an art form and where stitching continues to mend\, preserve\, and reimagine the world around us. \nBanner image credit: Ellen Dynebrink\, Kiyoshi Yamamoto\, Nora Strand\, Lee Jensen\, and Heidi Hankaniemi \nTEXTILE TAKEOVER is presented in partnership with New York Textile Month.

SUMMARY:THE QUIET BEEKEEPER | NEW NORDIC CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:“A warmly melancholic\, affirmative slice of imperfect humanity”—On September 16\, see the poignant\, meditative family drama The Quiet Beekeeper! Winner of the Audience Award at the 2026 Göteborg Film Festival\, The Quiet Beekeeper is a quiet and deeply affecting drama inspired by real-life events exploring love\, nature\, and the cycles of life. \n\nSet in the small\, rustic town of Åmotfors in the Swedish region of Värmland\, close to the Norwegian border\, the film follows father Olof and daughter Lise who long for connection and carry shared grief in different ways. Like his forefathers\, beekeeper Olof (a stellar Adam Lundgren) keeps bees and drives a snowplough in wintertime to keep the bills paid for his family\, consisting of his mother\, sister and his prickly teenage daughter Lise. \nWith a delicate touch\, the film deftly captures life in the countryside\, portraying both the everyday and the existential\, from the humming of beehives to a relationship on the verge of collapse. Directed and co-written by Marcus Carlsson\, who co-wrote the script with star Adam Lundgren\, and featuring an atmospheric score by Janne Schaffer\, this is a sensitive story of loss\, silence\, longing for closeness\, hope and facing our fears. \n\nPurchase Tickets
