Who do you want to write a book about? Who is your protagonist? At the workshop we’ll collect material to create our own book with inspiration from the exhibition A Visit to Vigdís. All authors and budding authors are welcome. 
In Rán Flygenring’s book, Vigdís – Bókin um fyrsta konuforsetann, a young person sets off on a mission to create a book about a subject matter that interests her. She wants to learn more about Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, the president of Iceland.   What would your book be about?

Author and illustrator Rán Flygenring leads the workshop.

Materials will be provided at each table. 

At the exhibition Visiting Vigdís guests of all ages are invited to walk into the setting of the book Vigdís. Bókin um fyrsta konuforsetann (“Vigdís. The book about the first female president”). Author and illustrator Rán Flygenring designed the exhibition in collaboration with curator Embla Vigfúsdóttir. The world of Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, the first woman to be elected president, comes to life at Gerðuberg, where guests can stop by for a visit and reflect on the values that Vigdís has always championed, in her personal and professional life. Seeing is believing!
