SUMMARY:HEROSTORIES | NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! On September 10 in coordination with this month’s Taste of Iceland festival\, we’ll be discussing Herostories\, a work from Icelandic poet-historian Kristín Svava Tómasdóttir composed from the memoirs and biographies of 100 Icelandic midwives\, out now in translation by K.B. Thors from Deep Vellum. \nHerostories reveals tales untold by most history books: the harrowing journeys and vital triumphs of 19th- and 20th-century midwifery in the vast landscape of Iceland. 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:TEXTILE TAKEOVER | WORKSHOP WITH ISABEL BERGLUND
DESCRIPTION:Presented in TEXTILE TAKEOVER\, a weekend-long showcase of innovation in Nordic textile art at Scandinavia House\, join us for an adult art workshop with Danish artist Isabel Berglund! In this three-hour workshop\, participants will join Berglund in creating a performance-piece\, “People’s Paper Puff Jumper\,” a work knitted by hand in paper yarn. The participants in the workshop will hand knit puff sleeves in light gray paper yarn with a colored edge that emphasizes the puff sleeve. The puff sleeve will be added to a larger hand-knitted piece\, which will eventually become a large textile installation in the form of a communal paper sweater. The viewer will be able to enter the work and stick their arms through the pouffe arms and thereby become part of the work. The craft of “knitting” is set aside for a process where the work is created by the handprints of many different people. \nAll materials will be provided. TEXTILE TAKEOVER is presented in partnership with New York Textile Month. \nRegister
