SUMMARY:ECHOES OF THE FJORDS: THE TIMELESS MUSIC OF THE HARDANGER FIDDLE
DESCRIPTION:Join us on May 13 for a showcase on the legendary Hardanger fiddle\, featuring a concert and discussion with Karen Rebholz and Lucy Jacobs! \nHardanger fiddles originated in Norway in the 1600s and are richly ornamented with intricate carving\, inlaid fittings and black line drawing. An ethereal resonance is created by sympathetic understrings. Traditional Hardanger fiddle music is played with asymmetric rhythms\, multiple tunings\, and nonstandard tones which have been preserved by means of an unbroken aural chain. In today’s program\, Lucy Jacobus and Karen Rebholz will introduce you to the Hardanger fiddle and perform traditional tunes that were the musical accompaniment to life in the Norwegian countryside. These tunes mark important events in the lives of the people and serve as an aural repository of history and traditions unique to each valley.

SUMMARY:THE KISS
DESCRIPTION:“A modern fairy tale”—on May 14\, see award-winning director Bille August’s new film The Kiss (Kysset\, Denmark\, 2022) in New Nordic Cinema! \nSet in Denmark in 1913\, the story follows Anton (Esben Smed)\, a noble and conscientious young man\, whose top priority is to complete his training as a cavalry officer. During a training session he orders his platoon to help Baron von Løvenskjold (Lars Mikkelsen) and finds himself invited to a ball at the castle\, where he meets the Baron’s beautiful daughter\, Edith (Clara Rosager)\, who uses a wheelchair following an accident. As Anton feels a growing compassion towards Edith\, he struggles with identifying whether his feelings are of pity or true love. He soon becomes entangled in promises\, lies and responsibility toward the Løvenskjold family and to Edith. \nBased on Beware of Pity\, the 1939 novel by Stefan Zweig\, Bille August’s new film has been acclaimed as “a modern fairy tale about complicated love and impatient hearts” (Ekko).

SUMMARY:DESIGN EXHIBITION SHOWCASE
DESCRIPTION:The Design Exhibition Showcase will highlight and explore work from Baltic and Nordic designers\, focusing on upcycling\, recycling and sustainability. In coordination with Spring Design Showcase events at Scandinavia House throughout the day\, including the workshop “Denim Reborn | Upcycling with Reet Aus” and “Leather Bracelet Workshop with KARLOTTA” in the morning\, and a Panel Discussion at 2 PM that will touch on themes relating to the international sustainable fashion industry\, visitors will have the opportunity to meet and speak with Nordic and Baltic designers working with recycling\, sustainability and upcycling\, and purchase select items on display. \nABOUT THE PARTICIPANTS\nREET AUS is a PhD-qualified Estonian fashion designer and environmental activist\, a natural rebel who founded REET AUS COLLECTION®. She is a pioneer in the field of industrial upcycling for fashion\, and has developed the UPMADE® certification\, in order to pass on her knowledge to brands and factories. \nFounded by Mare Kelpman\, KELPMAN TEXTILES produces high-quality fashion and interior accessories using durable\, natural materials. Known for traditional European weaving techniques\, the brand offers unisex\, limited-edition pieces crafted from 100% wool\, silk\, and linen. Mare is a professor\, international exhibitor\, and award-winning textile artist. \nHYTI is a line of soap holders by Estonian designer Anne-Liis Leht. Using soda-lime glass\, which\, until now\, has never been reprocessed or recycled in Estonia\, the soap holders are fabricated\, in both clear and colored glass\, putting this material back into circulation. \nSILE LUIK by Sille Luiga produces The Two Cents jewelry collection\, which is made from stretched copper coins. For each earring\, a cent is heated up and passed between two revolving steel cylinders – like letting a train rollover it. \nOriginally from Tallinn and now based in Copenhagen\, KRISTEL KUSLAPUU is a bold\, irony-driven knitwear designer with a master’s in fashion design. Her work challenges convention while staying rooted in slow fashion and ethical production. Pieces are made in Europe or hand-knit by Kristel using natural\, responsibly sourced yarns. \nOne of Estonia’s top jewelry designers\, ANNELI TAMMIK creates elegant\, nature-inspired pieces. Her collections—such as Snow\, Ice\, Four Seasons\, and Kameeleon—have been worn by Evelin Ilves\, Queen Silvia of Sweden\, and Empress Michiko of Japan. \nKARLOTTA by Estonian designer Eva-Karlotta Tatar presents its collection in which old leather garments were used to create new value in things otherwise considered waste. As an outer material\, old leather jackets are used\, generally considered post-consumer waste\, and the inner lining is a production leftover from an ECCO shoe factory. \nASTA VILHELMINA GUÓMUNDSDOTTIR is an Icelandic artist and fashion designer. Inspired by nature and natural fibers\, she uses materials she finds in her environment\, such as seaweed\, wool\, horsehair\, silk\, soil and plant fibers. Her artworks and clothing are inspired by the ever-changing Icelandic nature. \nFRANZ RAVER’s founder and fashion designer\, Susanna Peters\, has been passionate about designing clothes since childhood. She completed a degree in Resource Management in clothing and textile at Tallinn University of Technology\, and a Master’s Degree in fashion design at the Estonian Academy of Arts. She has won various fashion contests: Denim Dream’s competition in 2015\, Apollo’s uniform competition in 2019\, and the special prize at the Antonius Fashion Show by Hartwall in 2022. She has also participated in several sustainability-promoting clothing design workshops\, among them the Global Fashion Summit in 2019\, the largest sustainability-promoting fashion conference in Europe. \nSANDRA LUKS is a multidisciplinary designer whose practice redefines the possibilities of denim re-use. One such example: In Sandra Luks’s practice\, unraveled threads from ripped up old jeans are woven together into a delicate fabric that carries both the fortitude of workwear and the ethereal lightness of feathery lace\, a true testament to the enduring power of sustainable design. \nPurchase Tickets
