SUMMARY:NERVE IMPULSES ON THE HIGH-VOLTAGE POWER LINE | BOOK TALK
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 17 for a virtual book talk on Arndís Lóa Magnsúdóttir’s Nerve Impulses on the High-Voltage Power Line\, (Saturnalia Press\, October 2026). Magnsúdóttir’s translator Rachel Britton will be joined by a moderator for readings and discussions.  \nWinner of the 2025 Malinda A. Markham Translation Prize\, Nerve Impulses on the High-Voltage Power Line is a smoldering study of our human need for language. With the precision of a scientist—part paleontologist\, part neurologist\, part musicologist—Arndís Lóa Magnsúdóttir explores language as adaptation for survival and what it means to acquire language and to lose it. In the space between words\, the electric impulses that crackle between neurons produce alternative methods of communication\, expression\, and of navigating the modern world. The poems in Nerve Impulses on the High-Voltage Power Line hum and fizz\, asking us to forget our preconceptions of what language is for\, to let sound build inside the body and flow outward\, and to rediscover the ways we move through the world. Words\, as Arndís writes\, “are not / for fulfilling basic needs / … but for setting fire.” \nRegister

SUMMARY:NORTHERN PATTERNS: LEARN TRADITIONAL ARCTIC BEADING DETAILS
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on workshop draws inspiration from the work of master bone carver Inna Eilyuvna Iadne\, whose intricate sculptures and jewelry reflect the cultural depth and artistic traditions of the Indigenous peoples of Yamal. Participants will explore Northern ornamental traditions through beadweaving\, translating symbolic patterns and storytelling elements into contemporary wearable art. \nThrough guided practice\, attendees will learn 1 to 3 beadweaving techniques and create an original jewelry piece such as earrings\, a bracelet\, or a pendant. Along the way\, they will gain insight into the symbolism\, composition\, and cultural context that inform Northern decorative arts\, as seen in Iadne’s meticulous attention to detail and narrative craftsmanship. \nThe workshop aims to develop artistic taste\, strengthen compositional thinking\, and equip participants with the skills to independently design and create meaningful handmade pieces that connect traditional heritage with modern expression. \n\nPurchase tickets

SUMMARY:THE SQUIRREL | SCREENING & DIRECTOR TALK
DESCRIPTION:On November 17\, Scandinavia House presents a special screening and director talk featuring Finland’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards: the absurd\, warm-hearted dystopian drama The Squirrel. Director Markus Lehmusruusu will be present for a film talk and Q&A. \nThe Squirrel / Orava\nDir. Markus Lehmusruusu\, Finland/Germany/Netherlands/Sweden\, 2026 | 93 min.\nIn Finnish with English subtitles \nIn the far future\, in a sterile\, frictionless world without nature or animals – Pasi\, a lonely\, compassionate designer of synthetic pets\, stumbles upon the last surviving squirrel by chance. He decides to defy the very strict regulations of interaction with what little nature is left in the world and help ease the squirrel back into its natural habitat. However\, when his actions lead to unexpected consequences\, Pasi is confronted with a profound dilemma: should he venture into the wild with the squirrel or jeopardize the safety of his fragile\, tightly-regulated world to keep the squirrel by his side? \nDeftly balancing biting satire\, a portrait of an authoritarian dystopia\, and a timid romance\, Markus Lehmusruusu kindles those fires of humanity in a world where they have nearly been extinguished. Its chilly aesthetic and deadpan humor inevitably evoke Aki Kaurismäki\, yet beneath the cold exterior lies a surprisingly warm story about resisting conformity and stepping beyond one’s comfort zone. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:AMERICAN DOCTOR | NORDIC & BALTIC OSCAR CONTENDERS
DESCRIPTION:On November 18\, Scandinavia House presents a screening of the unflinching\, visceral documentary American Doctor\, a Danish qualifier for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards. \n\n\n\nAmerican Doctor follows three prominent physicians — Palestinian\, Jewish\, and Zoroastrian — who\, despite their differing backgrounds\, are united by a shared calling to confront injustice and uphold their oath to save lives. Dr. Thaer Ahmad is measured and strategic; Dr. Mark Perlmutter is blunt and wears his heart on his sleeve; and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is media-savvy and prolific. Filmed in unfolding\, on-the-ground vérité scenes\, the story traces their journey from a Gazan hospital under siege to the halls of Congress. Together\, they fight to keep a promise to their Palestinian colleagues and patients to continue the struggle where it matters most: in the United States. \n\n\n\nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:A CHOPIN TRIBUTE WITH PER TENGSTRAND

SUMMARY:SIRI HUSTVEDT - DANCE AROUND THE SELF
DESCRIPTION:On November 21\, see the trenchant\, tender documentary Siri Hustvedt – Dance Around the Self! Siri Hustvedt will be present for a Q&A following the screening. \nYoung\, curious and full of drive\, Siri Hustvedt leaves the wide\, quiet landscapes of Minnesota and plunges into the pulsating life of New York City. In search of the protagonist for her first novel\, she embarks on a journey that not only shapes her as a writer but leads her to become one of the most compelling voices in contemporary American literature. The film opens a perspective that reaches far beyond Siri Hustvedt herself\, discovering women who courageously and independently realise their artistic visions. As Siri Hustvedt and her husband Paul Auster reflect on language\, identity and the power of words\, life intervenes: Paul Auster becomes seriously ill. In Siri Hustvedt – Dance Around the Self\, director Sabine Lidl portrays Siri Hustvedt’s distinctive way of living and thinking\, weaving her writing together with the major themes of life: love and farewell. \nPhotos: © Medea Film Factory / Dschoint Ventschr / Filip Zumbrunn \nPurchase Tickets
