“In memoriam,” a publication by Anna Vaivare, has reached the President of Iceland

“In memoriam”, a publication by our former residency artist Anna Vaivare, has reached the President of Iceland!  The inside of the folded print shows drawings of eleven houses in Seyðisfjörður that were destroyed by a series of landslides in December 2020.
