In the spring of 2024, ASF presents “Fog Swept Islands: Faroe Islands Culture Days,” a major celebration of the North Atlantic archipelago! Programs exploring the contemporary Faroese arts include panels on current issues, literary and design talks, film screenings, textile events and workshops, and the exhibition Fog Swept Cargo in the Scandinavia House Galleries.
A group of islands located between Iceland and Norway, this self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark has a vibrant cultural and arts landscape, as will be explored through its contemporary cinema, literature, design, and visual arts; a panel on knitting traditions and sustainability; and discussions of the Faroese history, present and future.
The series includes the virtual series Fog Swept Cinema, with screening packages available to viewers across the U.S. from April 19 to May 5, 2024; many other programs will be recorded and available for later viewing.
