SUMMARY:Salka Valka by Halldór Laxness
DESCRIPTION:On June 21\, translator Philip Roughton joins us with Doug McIntyre for a discussion on celebrated Icelandic novelist and Nobel Prize Laureate Halldór Laxness’s novel Salka Valka\, out June 7 in new translation from Archipelago! \nOn a winter night\, an 11-year-old Salvör and her unmarried mother Sigurlína disembark at the remote\, run-down fishing village of Óseyri\, where life is “lived in fish and consists of fish.” The two struggle to make their way amidst the rough\, salt-worn men of the town. After Sigurlína’s untimely death\, Salvör pays for her funeral and walks home alone\, precipitating her coming of age as a daring\, strong-willed young woman who chops off her hair\, earns her own wages\, educates herself through political and philosophical texts\, and soon becomes an advocate for the town’s working class\, organizing a local chapter of the seamen’s union. \nA feminist coming-of-age tale\, an elegy to the plight of the working class and the corrosive effects of social and economic inequality\, and a poetic window into the arrival of modernity in a tiny industrial town\, Salka Valka is a novel of epic proportions\, living and breathing with its vibrant cast of characters\, filled with tenderness\, humor\, and remarkable pathos. \nThis event will take place as a Zoom webinar; please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. Registration is required; please sign up at the link above. This conversation will be recorded and available later to stream on our Virtual Programming page and on our YouTube channel. \n“Laxness brought the Icelandic novel out from the sagas’ shadow… to read Laxness is also to understand why he haunts Iceland—he writes the unearthly prose of a poet cased in the perfection of a shell of plot\, wit\, and clarity”—The Guardian \nAbout the Speakers\nHalldór Laxness (1902-1998) is the undisputed master of modern Icelandic fiction.

SUMMARY:The Fantastic Art of Paper Cutting
DESCRIPTION:Learn to create wonderful paper-cut beings with celebrated Danish paper-cutting artist Torben Jarlstrøm Clausen in a class held via Zoom! Clausen\, who has held paper-cutting workshops in Denmark\, Japan and the U.S.\, has created a magical paper-cut universe inhabited by beings previously confined inside the paper. “I can sense that the beings are in the paper\, but at the same time they are sad. After some help from the scissors\, they travel around happily in our diverse world\,” Clausen explains of his artwork. \nIn this online workshop\, Clausen will share his techniques and guide viewers through creating their own paper-cut magic. Participants will also explore the paper-cut artwork of renowned storyteller Hans Christian Andersen\, and hear about Clausen’s own journey to becoming a paper-cutting artist. \nThe class will take place as virtual instruction over Zoom; students should supply their own materials to cut alongside Clausen. Skill is beginner-level and above. \nMaterials: \n\nSharp pair of scissors\nFive pieces of any color paper sized approximately 4 x 4 inches (approximately the thickness of printer paper)\nFive pieces of any color paper sized approximately 1 x 2 inches\nAdditional paper to use as needed\n\nAbout the Instructor\nTorben Jarlstrøm Clausen started as a paper-cut artist in 2004. Since then\, he has exhibited over 110 places in the U.S.\, Japan\, and Denmark and has held numerous workshops in the same countries.Clausen lives in Odense\, Denmark\, which is the birthplace of world-famous fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen\, who was also a very skilled paper-cut artist. \nTorben Jarlstrøm Clausen seeks with his paper cuts to maintain and renew this old paper cut tradition\, which Hans Christian Andersen was an exponent of almost 200 years ago.

SUMMARY:Elsa Nilsson: Thyme
DESCRIPTION:Our popular Summer Jazz Series returns to Scandinavia House\, with live concerts! This summer we’re presenting performances from some of Scandinavia’s most talented jazz musicians\, composers\, and singers on Thursday evenings in June. On June 9\, see flute player\, composer and educator Elsa Nilsson perform her work Thyme in a celebration of our ecosystem with fellow musicians Santiago Leibson (piano)\, Marty Kenney (bass)\, and Rodrigo Recabarren (drums). \nTickets to this event must be purchased in advance online at the link above. Attendees are required to follow all Scandinavia House safety protocols\, including wearing masks at all times during the program and observing social distancing rules in signage. Please read our full safety protocols here. \nAbout the Musicians\nFlute Player\, Composer and Educator Elsa Nilsson was born and raised in Gothenburg\, Sweden and currently resides in Brooklyn\, New York. She can often be found playing at The 55 Bar\, Bar Bayeux and other New York Jazz venues. Nilsson approaches music with an attitude of inclusiveness. She believes there is a space to be found in music that gives us the freedom to be exactly who we are. This leads her to make some unconventional choices as an improviser and composer where the lines between styles become blurred and rules get bent in order to serve the ultimate goal of sincere communication. Nilsson draws inspiration from every aspect of life and music that moves her\, combining them through the lens of Jazz to create a deeply personal expression that she hopes is universally relatable. Nilsson is on Faculty at The New School College for Performing Arts.   \nSantiago Leibson is a Brooklyn based\, Argentinian born jazz pianist and composer. His music is situated in the frontier of jazz\, improvised music\, classical and contemporary music.  As a bandleader\, he has released five records: Amon (2014)\, Pendular (2015)\, Out of Orden (2016)\, Episodes (2018) and Little Pieces (2020). JazzTrail says about Episodes: “Episodes is a swinging album with abundant evocations of past grandeur. Thence\, the trio of performers lay bare their solid command of time and space to create new narratives”. \nBased in New York City\, Marty Kenney is among his generation’s most versatile and in demand upright and electric bassists. Originally from Palmer\, Alaska\, Marty received his bachelor’s degree at the University of Northern Colorado. He relocated to New York City in 2012\, where he completed his Master’s degree at the Manhattan School of Music\, studying under bassist Jay Anderson. Marty has performed with musicians such as Art Lande\, Billy Drummond\, Rich Perry\, Steve Slagle\, Allan Harris\, Rez Abbasi\, Brandon Seabrook\, Brian Krock’s Big Heart Machine\, David Berkman\, and the New York Standards Quartet featuring Tim Armacost and Gene Jackson. \nBorn in Santiago de Chile\, Rodrigo Recabarren studied music at the PUC in Chile (BA) and NYU in NYC (M.M.)\, but also learned the craft in many other places and with the help of many friends during his life. Rodrigo has been playing music professionally since 2011 and throughout these years has been extremely fortunate to be able to share the musicing process with some of the most incredible artists\, some of them are: Guillermo Klein\, Claudia Acuña\, Perico Sambeat\, Brad Shepik\, Melissa Aldana\, Camila Meza\, Rafal Sarnecki\, Angel Parra\, Raimundo Santander\, Pablo Menares\, Carlos Vera L. Akira Ishiguro and Jeff Miles among many others.” \nSponsor\nThis program has been supported by Finlandia Foundation. \n \nSummer Jazz Series\nThis summer we’re presenting performances from some of Scandinavia’s most talented young jazz musicians\, composers\, and singers from June 2 through June 23. \nJune 16: Joonas Haavisto Trio\nJune 23: Sunna Gunnlaugs Trio

SUMMARY:Quake: A Novel by Auður Jónsdóttir
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss Scandinavian literature in translation as part of our Nordic Book Club\, now online! Each month we select a novel from some of the best Nordic literary voices. On June 7\, we’ll be discussing  Quake by Icelandic author Auður Jónsdóttir. \nNominated for the Icelandic Literary Prize\, Quake: A Novel is a haunting novel-in-translation about Saga\, a woman who comes to after an epileptic seizure on a sidewalk along busy Miklabraut Street. Her three-year-old son is gone. The last thing she remembers is a double-decker bus that no one else can confirm seeing. Over the following days\, Saga’s mind is beset by memories and doubts. What happened before her seizure? Who can she trust? And how can she make any sense of her emotions when her memory is so fragmented? \nThe English-language debut of award-winning and prolific Icelandic author Auður Jónsdóttir\, as translated by Meg Matich\, Quake is a shocking and revelatory exploration of the blurred lines between fact and fiction\, reality and imagination\, and where mother ends and child begins. It has now been adapted into a 2021 film directed by Tinna Hrafnsdóttir\, which premiered at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival. \n“Part mystery\, part family drama\, part children-in-peril narrative\, the novel offers a hectic\, heart-thudding\, sometimes claustrophobic portrait of panicked inner turmoil”—Kirkus Reviews

SUMMARY:The Border
DESCRIPTION:On June 7\, attend a virtual talk with acclaimed Norwegian author Erika Fatland (Sovietland) on her new book The Border: A Journey Around Russia Through North Korea\, China\, Mongolia\, Kazakhstan\, Azerbaijan\, Georgia\, Ukraine\, Belorussia\, Lithuania\, Foland\, Latvia\, Estonia\, Finland\, Norway\, and the Northeast Passage\, out now from Pegasus Books! \nImperial\, communist\, or autocratic\, Russia has been — and remains — a towering and intimidating neighbor\, whether to North Korea in the Far East or the former Soviet republics in Asia and the Caucasus\, or countries on the Caspian Ocean and the Black Sea. What would it be like to traverse the entirety of the Russian periphery to examine its influence on those countries closest to its border? \nAn astute and brilliant combination of lyric travel writing and modern history\, The Border is a book about Russia without its author ever entering Russia itself as Fatland gets to the heart of what it has meant to be the neighbor of that mighty\, expanding empire throughout history. As we follow Fatland on her journey\, we experience the colorful\, exciting\, tragic and often unbelievable histories of these bordering nations along with their cultures\, their people\, their landscapes. \nSharply observed and wholly absorbing\, The Border is a surprising new way to understand a broad part our world. \nThis event will take place as a Zoom webinar; please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. Registration is required; please sign up at the link above. This conversation will be recorded and available later to stream on our Virtual Programming page and on our YouTube channel. \n“A hauntingly lyrical meditation to the contingencies of history. Ms. Fatland’s greatest gift\, is listening…allowing the people she meets to reveal themselves in meticulously rendered dramatic monologues\, capturing their tics\, eccentricities\, and detailed personal histories. Russianness gives way to humanity—but not a simplistic one” ―The Wall Street Journal \n“An introduction to a deeply misunderstood part of the world…the complexity and beauty of this region are best represented when she goes back in time. Fatland has a level of access most outsiders would never have”—The New York Times Book Review \nAbout the Author\nErika Fatland studied Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo and is the author of two previous books in Norwegian\, as well as Sovietistan. She speaks eight languages and lives in Oslo with her husband

SUMMARY:Betrayed
DESCRIPTION:“Powerful and immersive” (Los Angeles Times) — On May 18\, see the gripping Norwegian Holocaust drama based on the story of the Braude family\, Betrayed /Den største forbrytelsen (dir. Eirik Svensson\, Norway\, 2021) at Scandinavia House! \nWhen German troops invade Norway during World War II\, despite the millions of Jewish people across Europe who have been deported and killed in German concentration camps\, Norwegian Jews initially feel safe and protected. Among them are the Braude family: including Charles\, an up-and-coming boxer planning to marry a gentile\, Ragnhilde; his mother Sara and father Benzel\, and brothers Harry (Carl Martin Eggesbø) and Isak (Eilif Hartwig). But as the war escalates in Europe\, the situation changes drastically. When all Jewish men over the page of 15 are arrested and taken to prison camps\, many of the women behind are too frightened to escape\, desperately waiting for their husbands and sons to return — until November 26\, 1942\, when hundreds of Jews are picked up by police and transported to a dock in Oslo to the German cargo ship SS DONAU\, destined for Auschwitz. For the Braudes\, an ordinary Norwegian family\, their fate is sealed by the fact that they are Jews. (126 min. In Norwegian with English subtitles) \n“An agonized study of suffering and treachery\, and no less valuable — or powerful — for being regrettably familiar”—Variety \nThis screening will take place in Victor Borge Hall; attendees are required to follow all Scandinavia House safety protocols\, including wearing masks during the program and observing social distancing rules in signage. Please read our full safety protocols here. ASF is committed to providing an environment free from harassment or discrimination in the treatment of individuals and does not permit harassment or discrimination in any forms (whether racial\, sexual\, religious\, orientation or others) within our building.

SUMMARY:Tractatus Philosophico-Poeticus
DESCRIPTION:On May 17\, attend a virtual book talk with Danish author Signe Gjessing and translator Denise Newman on Tractatus Philosophico-Poeticus\, an exquisite\, lyrical reimagining of Wittgenstein’s philosophical work of 1922. With moderator Rosie Ellison-Balaam\, they’ll discuss the book and its translation\, out now from Lolli Editions. \nLudwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus\, often noted as the most important philosophical work of the 20th century\, had a broad goal: to identify the relationship between language and reality\, and to define the limits of science. Following on from Wittgenstein 100 years later\, Signe Gjessing updates and reimagines the Tractatus\, marrying poetry with philosophy to test the boundaries of reality. Stunning\, knowing\, and revitalising\, and glinting with stars\, silk\, and ecstasy\, this is poetry which exacts the logical consequence of philosophy\, while locating beauty and significance in the nonsense of the world. \nThis event will take place as a Zoom webinar; please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. Registration is required; please sign up at the link above. This conversation will be recorded and available later to stream on our Virtual Programming page and on our YouTube channel. \n“Wilder and more generous than a straightforward satirical pastiche… An enchanting pocketbook\, both mind-bending and mind-straightening”– The Guardian\n“This is poetry about how we organise the spaces we enter – viable and impossible\, concretely or in the mind”– ATLAS \nAbout the Speakers\nSigne Gjessing is a Danish poet. She graduated from the Danish Academy of Creative Writing\, Forfatterskolen\, in 2014. She has published several collections of poetry and a novella\, and is the recipient of numerous awards and prizes\, including the prestigious Bodil & Jørgen Munch Christensen Prize for emerging writers. Tractatus Philosophico-Poeticus is her first work to appear in English. \nDenise Newman is a poet and translator based in San Francisco\, who teaches at the California College of the Arts. She has published four collections of poetry and translated the work of Danish authors Inger Christensen and Naja Marie Aidt\, receiving two PEN awards and an NEA fellowship for her translations. \nAbout the Moderator\nRosie Ellison-Balaam is an editor and writer based in London. \nShe edits the “Lolli in Conversation” series.

SUMMARY:Present Tense Machine by Gunnhild Øyehaug
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss Scandinavian literature in translation as part of our Nordic Book Club\, now online! Each month we select a novel from some of the best Nordic literary voices. On May 10\, we’ll be discussing Present Tense Machine by Gunnhild Øyehaug\, out now in translation by Kari Dickson\, which was recently discussed by the author in a virtual panel now streaming here. \nOn an ordinary day in Bergen\, Norway\, in the late 1990s\, Anna is reading in the garden while her two-year-old daughter\, Laura\, plays on her tricycle. Then\, in one startling moment\, Anna misreads a word\, an alternate universe opens up\, and Laura disappears. \nTwenty years or so later\, life has gone on as if nothing happened\, but in each of the women’s lives\, something is not quite right. Both Anna and Laura continue to exist\, but they are invisible to each other and forgotten in each other’s worlds. Both are writers and amateur pianists. They are married; Anna had two more children after Laura disappeared\, and Laura is expecting a child of her own. They worry about their families\, their jobs\, the climate—and whether this reality is all there is. \nØyehaug delivers another dazzling renovation of what fiction can do: a testament to the fact that language shapes the world.

SUMMARY:Nordic Literature in Translation: Damascus\, Atlantis
DESCRIPTION:On April 23\, join us for a Nordic Literature in Translation event with author Marie Silkeberg and translator Kelsi Vanada on Silkeberg’s 2021 book Damascus\, Atlantis\, which was recently longlisted for the 2022 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation. With moderator David Rothenberg\, the publisher of  Terra Nova Press\, they’ll discuss Silkeberg’s poetry collection and Vanada’s translation of her works\, for which Vanada won ASF’s  Nadia Christensen Translation Prize in 2018. \nSilkeberg has been a major voice in Swedish poetry since the early 1990s. In these poems\, translated by Kelsi Vanada and drawn from her two most recent collections\, Atlantis and Till Damaskus (written with Ghayath Almadhoun\, whose poems from the collection were published in English translation as Adrenalin)\, she tackles some of the most wrenching events of recent decades—globalization\, the escalating war in Syria\, and its ongoing aftermath and consequences. The speakers of these poems live in a reality informed by these events and by an older European history. Taking the standpoint of listener and observer forced to confront the horrors in present tense\, the poems question how we share the pain of others\, and how the meeting between different experiences of trauma influences language. The poems are matched with stills from Silkeberg’s poetry films\, putting word and image in dialogue to explore ruins\, cityscapes\, the echoes of history\, all into the depth of language’s power. \nIn today’s event\, Silkeberg and Vanada will read from and discuss the writing\, translation\, and publication with images of this book which has been called “beautiful\, breathtakingly threatening\, cruel as only love can be” (Kristian Lundberg\, Aftonbladet) with Rothenberg. \nNow in its 43rd year\, ASF’s Annual Translation Competition awards prizes for outstanding translations of poetry\, fiction\, drama\, or literary prose written by a 20th- or 21st-century Nordic author. The Nadia Christensen Prize recognizes an outstanding translation of a literary text from a Nordic language into the English. \nThis event will take place as a Zoom webinar; please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. Registration is required; please sign up at the link above. This conversation will be recorded and available later to stream on our Virtual Programming page and on our YouTube channel. \nAbout the Speakers\nMarie Silkeberg is a poet\, translator\, and poetry filmmaker living in Stockholm. Since her first book appeared in 1990\, she has written nine collections of poetry\, including 23:23 (2006)\, Material (2010) and\, with Ghayath Almadhoun\, Till Damaskus (2014).

SUMMARY:Hatching
DESCRIPTION:On April 20\, see an advance screening of the new Finnish thriller Hatching at Scandinavia House! A fascinating portrait of the nature of maternal instinct\, Hatching opens theatrically in New York on April 29 and has been acclaimed as “a wild and weird ride; a cult classic in the making” (San Jose Mercury News) and “a knotty delight” (The Film Stage). A pre-recorded interview with director Hanna Bergholm will follow the screening. \nTwelve-year-old gymnast Tinja (Siiri Solalinna) is desperate to please her image-obsessed mother\, whose popular blog ‘Lovely Everyday Life’ presents their family’s idyllic existence as manicured suburban perfection. One day\, after finding a wounded bird in the woods\, Tinja brings its strange egg home\, nestles it in her bed\, and nurtures it until it hatches. The creature that emerges becomes her closest friend and a living nightmare\, plunging Tinja beneath the impeccable veneer into a twisted reality that her mother refuses to see. As Tinja battles to come to terms with the genuine emotional bond with her grotesque and bloodthirsty new found family\, she must also contend with the fraying connection to her own demanding mother (Finland\, 2022. 87 min. In Finnish with English subtitles.) \nOfficial selection 2022 at the Sundance Film Festival; “part social commentary\, part creature-feature\, Finnish thriller Hatching succeeds in large part because it commits so diligently to its conceit\, as out there as it is” (Third Coast Review) \nThis screening will take place in Victor Borge Hall; attendees are required to follow all Scandinavia House safety protocols\, including wearing masks during the program and observing social distancing rules in signage. Please read our full safety protocols here. \n \nSpecial thanks to IFC Films. \nAbout the Director\nHanna Bergholm is a Finnish film director.
