SUMMARY:NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE | THE SISTERS
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! Nordic Book Club meets monthly via Zoom to discuss contemporary literature in translation. On January 13\, 2026\, we’ll be discussing Jonas Hassen Khemiri’s addictively entertaining family saga The Sisters. \nMeet the Mikkola sisters: Ina\, Evelyn\, and Anastasia. Their mother is a Tunisian carpet seller\, their father a mysterious Swede who left them when they were young. Ina is tall\, serious\, a compulsive organizer. Evelyn is dreamy\, magnetic\, a smooth talker. And Anastasia is moody\, chaotic\, a shape-shifting presence\, quick to anger. \nIna meets her future husband when she’s dragged to a New Year’s rave by her sisters\, only to suffer the ultimate betrayal. Evelyn drifts through life before embarking on a wild career as an actress. And Anastasia runs off to Tunisia\, where she falls in love with a woman who\, years later\, will transform her life. \nFollowing the sisters from afar is Jonas\, the son of a Swedish mother and a Tunisian father. Over the course of three decades\, his life intersects with the sisters\, from a chance encounter in Tunis to the scene of a fighter jet crash in Stockholm. When Evelyn disappears on a trip to New York\, Jonas manages to track her down—and helps her to break the curse that has been looming over the Mikkolas for decades. In the process\, a shocking revelation changes everything about who they think they are. \nNarrated in six parts\, each spanning a period ranging from a year to a day to a single minute\, Jonas Hassen Khemiri’s The Sisters is a big\, vivid family story of the highest order—an tour de force that has been longlisted for prizes including the 2025 National Book Award for Fiction and the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. \n\nThe Sisters is available in hardcover\, paperback\, e-book and digital audio. \nRegister

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT — SENTIMENTAL VALUE | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:*This event is now sold out.* \nOn January 14\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening featuring Norway’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards: the poignant drama Sentimental Value\, followed by a filmmaker panel featuring director Joachim Trier! \nSentimental Value\nDir. Joachim Trier | Norway\, 2025 | 134 min\nIn Norwegian with English subtitles \n“The best film of the year” (Vogue) —Sisters Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) reunite with their estranged father\, the charismatic Gustav (Stellan Skarsgård\, in a remarkable performance)\, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When she declines\, Gustav casts an up-and-coming young Hollywood star (Elle Fanning) instead\, forcing the family to confront long-buried tensions as the striving outsider becomes entangled in their fraught dynamic. \nWith Sentimental Value\, Danish-Norwegian auteur Joachim Trier follows his critically acclaimed The Worst Person in the World (2021) with a magnetic comedy-drama about legacy\, art\, and the performances that bind—and divide—families. Trier’s insightful and captivating adult drama\, which won the Grand Prix at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival\, furthers the writer-director’s piercing exploration of the frayed ties that bind us to one another and to our creative selves. \n“A transcendent\, moving masterpiece” (IndieWire) \nRegister \n

SUMMARY:WATER-BASED PAINTING
DESCRIPTION:This series offers a gentle introduction to the tactile qualities of materials such as paper\, pastel\, paint\, graphite pencil\, and ink.

There are no expectations for finished pieces or specific outcomes —the class itself is the experience and the goal. Each session will close with a supportive group reflection\, where we’ll share and appreciate each other’s progress\, process\, and discoveries. \nIn this course\, students will explore and experiment with water-based colored paint and water using brushes on paper. \nThe series can be experienced as a complete progression or as individual\, standalone classes.
