Artist bios:
In Haraldur’s works, different materials, languages, and soundscapes are intricately interwoven, appearing to audiences as spatial installations, sound works, and performances. His pieces respond to their surroundings and seek to evoke a sense of place through diverse interventions and methods. They exist at the crossroads of various media and often invite active participation from visitors, who contribute to a fluid creation of meaning.
Sölvi Halldórsson writes poetry, criticism, and performance works. His poetry collection Þegar við vorum hellisbúar was published by MÚKK in 2025 and received a New Writing Grant from the Icelandic Literature Center. These days, he sings tenor with Mergur at Tjarnarbíó and is currently working on a manuscript about tolerance.
petals is a multi instrumentalist, composer of frantic musics, a retired poet, and author of kalimba, marsh-river-raft-feather, & glee & bless ~ all titles by guillemot press. petals is interested in cats, bells, playing hard (like her and your life depend on it), improvisation and gathering seemingly irreconcilable sounds and textures. petals also loves arranging flowers and making lamps.
Vena Naskrecka is an interdisciplinary artist working across movement, performance, social theatre, and site-specific installation. She is a graduate of Munster Technological University in Cork and the Minerva Academy in Groningen. Her practice brings together artistic research with scientific and humanistic perspectives, often developed through collaboration with other artists and researchers.
Gígja Jónsdóttir is a dance artist from Iceland whose practice spans performance, music/sound, video and installation. She has created and produced numerous original works and has also performed extensively in the works of other artists.
