SUMMARY:HEROSTORIES | BOOK TALK WITH KRISTÍN SVAVA TÓMASDÓTTIR\, K.B. THORS & LARISSA KYZER
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk with Icelandic poet and historian Kristín Svava Tómasdóttir and translator and ASF Translation Prizewinner K.B. Thors on Herostories! With moderator Larissa Kyzer (also an ASF Translation Prizewinner)\, Tómasdóttir and Thors will discuss this new work out now from Vellum Press revealing tales untold by most history books: the harrowing journeys and vital triumphs of 19th- and 20th-century midwifery in the vast landscape of Iceland. \nComposed from the memoirs and biographies of 100 Icelandic midwives\, poet-historian Kristín Svava Tómasdóttir’s found poems illuminate the dangers and valor of birthwork. Forgoing traditional sagas of androcentric conquest\, these poems center the adventures of ljósmæður\, “mothers of light.” Tómasdóttir leverages epic elements—dashing mountain treks\, rivers forded on horseback\, unyielding compassion—to challenge how and by whom stories become legend. Beyond archival recognition\, the text’s formally ambitious poetics render gender-based battles for literacy and education alongside narratives of selfless womanly caretaking\, pressurizing the fundamental tensions between feminine self-actualization and the romanticized service of these trailblazing figures. \nThe follow-up to Tómasdóttir and Thors’ award-winning\, PEN-nominated Stormwarning\, Herostories documents the professional achievements of Iceland’s first women to work outside the home\, precursors to today’s midwives who remain central to contemporary health care on the island. \nRegister

SUMMARY:PRACTICE
DESCRIPTION:See an Earth Day screening of Practice (dir. Laurens Pérol\, Norway\, 2023)\, a coming-of-age film about an eighteen-year-old musician whose environmentalism is tested when her refusal to fly jeopardizes an audition that will make or break her career\, on April 24 at Scandinavia House! \nLike Greta Thunberg\, the talented but stubborn trumpet player Trine refuses to fly. Idealism threatens the climate activist’s promising musical career when she lands a last-minute audition in Oslo—1500 kilometers south of her home in Northern Norway. Rather than abandon her morals\, Trine decides to hitchhike her way to the capital. Practice is an unlikely road movie about passion\, righteousness and youth\, and a tender exploration of what it means to listen to ourselves. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:WITNESSING CLIMATE CHANGE
DESCRIPTION:On April 18\, join us for a screening and film panel exploring how Arctic Indigenous peoples have battled against climate change through films and other media from the perspective of Free\, Prior and Informed Consent. \nArctic Indigenous peoples have a rich storytelling tradition that is still vivid and active. The stories have played an essential role in maintaining sustainable living in the Sámi and other Indigenous people’s traditional living areas — by being in charge of their narratives\, these communities create a new future for their peoples. That’s why all Indigenous peoples must have the ultimate right to tell their own stories about climate change in the Arctic tipping points\, including ice caps melting\, permafrost collapsing\, ocean changes and vanishing of the snow. \nIn today’s program\, participants will discuss these topics and more. Speakers will be discussed closer to the date; please check back for more details on the film screening and panelists. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:THE FAROE ISLANDS & THE ARCTIFICATION OF THE NORTH
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture exploring present and future changes in Faroese society\, with a focus on current events in the Arctic region\, with Bergur Djurhuus Hansen (Dean and Associate Professor of Literature\, Faculty of Language and Literature at University of the Faroe Islands). \nAt times having been described as a borderland in the North Atlantic or as stepping stones towards another world\, the Faroe Islands were first settled by Irish monks around 600 CE. Today they have a strong economy\, a vibrant art and music scene and internationally acclaimed literary publications\, are engaged in international trade and cultural activities\, and are dependent on their close relations with other nations. But as recent developments within the North Atlantic have brought opportunities for collaboration and economic growth as well as threats from geopolitical competition and militarization\, they have revitalized descriptions of the Faroe Islands as stepping stones — today to the Arctic. These narratives have new implications as the region undergoes an “Arcticification\,” with an increased focus on the North as a region of ice and heavy seas\, climate change\, crisis\, and military tensions. \nBased on historical developments\, presenting significant and fascinating excerpts from historical accounts as well as from travel writings and contemporary pieces of literature\, Bergur Djurhuus Hansen will address these subjects and more. \nRegister

SUMMARY:SHAME ON DRY LAND
DESCRIPTION:See Shame on Dry Land (Syndabocken\, dir. Sweden\, 2023)\, a “tight and engrossing thriller” (Cineuropa) from director Axel Petersén\, on April 10! \nAfter a decade in exile\, Dimman (Joel Spira) arrives in Malta just in time for the wedding of his former best friend and business partner Fredrik (Christopher Wagelin) and his wife-to-be Sara\, both members of the Swedish online gaming community\, surprising both with his arrival. Dimman has come to apologize for vanishing years earlier\, leaving Fredrik to clean up the fallout of their business collapsing — something that Fredrik has no interest in forgiving. Disgraced and anxious\, Dimman turns to his next task repaying a favor to his sugar mama Kicki\, who sets him on a mission to keep tabs on Swedish tax authority investigator Krumm\, who is snooping around the island’s Swedish expat community. As Dimman is torn between shadowing Krumm and absolving himself with Fredrik\, his romantic ideals of friendship clash with the cynicism of permanent exile. And in his desperate pursuit of redemption\, he soon finds himself on a wild goose chase paved with lies\, deceit and bloody murder. \nPurchase Tickets

DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! Each month we select a novel from some of the best Nordic literary voices to read and discuss via Zoom. On April 9\, in celebration of Norwegian author Jon Fosse’s recent award of the 2023 Nobel Prize for Literature\, we’ll be reading the first two volumes of his acclaimed Septology series\, a radical and transcendental exploration of the human condition as told through the story of two aging painters each called Asle — one a widower on the southwest coast of Norway\, and one a struggling alcoholic in the city of Bjørgvin — as they confront eternal questions of death\, love\, faith\, and hopelessness. All seven volumes of Septology are available in collection here in translation by Damion Searls; today’s discussion will focus on Volumes I & II\, published under the title The Other Name. \nThe Other Name follows the lives of two men living close to each other on the west coast of Norway. The year is coming to a close and Asle\, an aging painter and widower\, is reminiscing about his life. He lives alone\, his only friends being his neighbor\, Åsleik\, a bachelor and traditional Norwegian fisherman-farmer\, and Beyer\, a gallerist who lives in Bjørgvin\, a couple hours’ drive south of Dylgja\, where he lives. There\, in Bjørgvin\, lives another Asle\, also a painter. He and the narrator are doppelgangers—two versions of the same person\, two versions of the same life. \nWritten in hypnotic prose that shifts between the first and third person\, The Other Name calls into question concrete notions around subjectivity and the self. What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life and not another? \nRegister

SUMMARY:THE TORMIS LEGACY: REGILAUL IN NEW YORK
DESCRIPTION:Discover the music of Veljo Tormis (1930–2017)\, one of the most important Estonian composers of the late 20th century\, through a performance\, screening and book discussion on April 7! \nVeljo Tormis’s compositions were profoundly based on the ancient traditional songs of the Estonian people — runic songs or regilaul. One of the goals of his professional life (in which he succeeded) was to restore that music to a central place in Estonian culture\, which proved to be of great importance to a culture that had been subjugated by the Soviet Union for over 50 years. Since then\, other Estonian composers have been influenced by his combination of ancient and contemporary styles. \nIn today’s program\, experience the Estonian folk-style music that has evolved from regilaul through a performance by Celia Roose (vocals\, bagpaipes and garmon) and Ants Johanson (guitar); see the documentary short The One & Only\, exploring how Veljo Tormis influenced his companions such as former Estonian president Kersti Kaljulaid\, composer Arvo Pärt\, and others; and explore the digital photo exhibition Isa Ise / Father Himself by Tõnu Tormis (Veljo Tormis’s son)\, which provides an exceptionally vivid vision through Veljo’s character from 1964-2000. Concluding the event will be a conversation with Mimi Daitz\, author of the book Ancient Song Recovered: The Life and Music of Veljo Tormis (now in its 2nd edition)\, as well as a book-signing. \nThe event is part of Estonian Cultural Days in New YorK and is organized in partnership with Veljo Tormis Virtual Center\, Estonian Ministry of Culture\, Consulate General of Estonia and Foundation for Estonian Arts and Letters. \nRegister
