A symposium in connection with the exhibition Swell: Women's Initiatives in Icelandic Art in the Eighties will be held at Kjarvalsstaðir on International Women's Day, Saturday, March 8, from 12:00 to 14:00.

On the same day, we will celebrate the publication accompanying the exhibition, which discusses the environment of this period in the arts. It includes articles by Becky Forsythe, curator, and Heiða Björk Árnadóttir, art historian, interviews with artists, images of artworks, and sources that shed light on the networks and relationships that shaped the period. The publication aims to preserve and honor the contributions of these pioneers and demonstrate how their work continues to resonate and inspire.

The symposium will be in Icelandic.
