Brothætt: Ritual I - The Healing

30 MAY - 14 JUN
21:00
IÐNÓ

A participatory work about the beauty of imperfection

In The Healing, the central gesture is to let go of what is broken, fractured, or no longer serves. Broken ceramics are given new meaning in a different context, where they come together as part of a larger whole in a mosaic shaped through the participation of guests. Alongside the mosaic, a sound work emerges, built from stories about what has been broken in life.

Steinunn Knúts Önnudóttir works with relation specific performances, performative encounters, and participatory works that invite guests into experiences grounded in their relationship to their surroundings, their values, and the personal “luggage” they carry. Steinunn holds a PhD in Performing Arts from Malmö Theatre Academy. Her doctoral research How Little Is Enough? explored sustainable methods of performance and the transformative potential of participatory performance.

Accessibility

Wheelchair with Exclamation Mark

The exhibition takes place on the patio at Iðnó. Ramps are available on both sides of the patio, and the patio can also be accessed through the main hall inside Iðnó. There is a low threshold at the exterior door.

A ramp leads to the front entrance, but the door is not automatic. There is a 5 cm threshold at the entrance with a sloped edge when entering the building, though there is no sloped edge when exiting. Indoor access is generally easy, with elevator access between the 1st and 2nd floors and sloped edges at all public thresholds. An accessible restroom is available on the 1st floor, although it is fairly small. One designated accessible parking space is located on Tjarnargata by Tjarnarskóli.

A dedicated quiet room is located on the 2nd floor
