EXPLORING

Reykjavik City Library explores what inclusive public spaces are and could be. With writers, poets, artists and activists we engage in a creative dialogue on belonging, visibility and inclusion.

QUESTIONING

How do we understand inclusivity and diversity? Where do we stand, when it comes to structural discrimination and racism? Who has the power to take up space? Who has a voice? Which narratives reach us and why?

DISCUSSING

The Library invited participants to think tank sessions to discuss these questions, share related stories from every-day life and seek a mutual understanding. 

REFLECTING

The outcome is an interesting array of podcast discussions, publication of written reflections and art happenings within the space of the Library, all taking place during the summer of 2020.

TOGETHER

Contributors to this process are Anna Wojtyńska, Chanel Björk Sturludóttir, Daría Sól Andrews, Elías Knörr, Ewa Marcinek, Helen Cova, Melanie Ubaldo, Nermine El Ansari and Wiola Ujazdowska.
