ou are warmly welcome to the workshop What are you passionate about? In Gerðarsafn the 30th of may at 13:00 – 15:00. The workshop is held in connection to the exhibition National happiness by Jeremy Deller, teenagers and young people are especially welcome!
In the workshop What Are You Passionate About?, participants choose a work from Jeremy Deller’s exhibition that speak especially to them and create a response to it. We approach the artworks from our own perspectives, interpret them in personal ways, and place particular emphasis on responding to the work, with a focus on the radio medium as a form of communication.
Participants are given the opportunity to develop their own voice – for example, by writing a column, critique, or review; conducting an imagined interview with the artwork or the artist, or creating a playlist as a response to a work. The radio format is placed at the forefront as a creative platform for telling stories, asking questions, and communicating ideas.
Ásrún Magnúsdóttir is a choreographer that is interested in amplifying voices that she feels might be heard better; giving the stage to other people space to speak up, be seen and listened to. She has a great deal of experience working with different social groups, especially young people, teenagers and children but also micro-communities like her own neighbours, residents of particular neighbourhoods or people that share an apartment building.
Admission is free and all are welcome
