About the Exhibition

On the 13th of February from 5-8 pm the Norwegian ambassador to Iceland, Cecilie Annette Willoch, will open the exhibition ECHO at Hlöðuloft in Korpúlfsstaðir. The exhibitors have worked together in recent years in Norway and Iceland for instance at Hvítahús on Snæfellsnes in 2022 and an artist residency at Kunstkvarteret Lofoten in 2023 among other places. The exhibition features diverse works from recent years that deal with nature in the broadest sense of the word and highlight different visions and experiences.

About the project

Ecophilosophic Dialogues is a collaborative project by six women artists, from Iceland and Norway. It was initiated by Icelandic artist Hildur Björnsdóttir who had the vision to create a network for Icelandic and Norwegian artists to share ideas, knowledge and skills, and to organize exhibitions, workshops and residencies. The artists bring different approaches and techniques to the table when they work side by side and co-create in a variety of media. They explore similarities and differences between their cultures, languages and the nature of their countries.

Ecophilosophic Dialogues has been supported by Norsk Kulturrad, Vesturland Culture funding and Muggur travel Grant
