9 videos • 5 views • by Scandinavia House This spring, ASF presents “Fog Swept Islands: Faroe Islands Culture Days,” a major celebration of the North Atlantic archipelago! During the month of April, we’ll be exploring the contemporary Faroese arts through a series of programs at Scandinavia House. These will include panels on current issues, literary and design talks, film screenings, and textile and culinary events, as well as the exhibition Fog Swept Cargo: Art From the Faroe Islands in the Scandinavia House Galleries. A group of islands located between Iceland and Norway, this self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark has a vibrant cultural and arts landscape, as will be explored through its contemporary cinema, literature, design, and visual arts; a panel on knitting traditions and sustainability; and discussions of the Faroese history, present and future.
