Featu ring an exhibition in the Scandinavia House gallery\, the program includes artist talks\, a reception\, and hands-on workshops. The exhibition opens on Friday\, September 4\, to Wednesday\, September 16\, 2026. More detail s will be announced shortly. \nTHE COLD STITCH is a Nordic textile collabo ration project co-organized by Ragna Froda (ISL/US)\, Director of New York Textile Month\, and Emily Stoddart (CA)\, manager of exhibitions and comm unity programs at Scandinavia House\, New York. The exhibition has been cu rated by Ragna Froda (ISL/US). \nABOUT THE COLD STITCH\nIn the Nordic coun tries\, stitching has long been more than decoration or domestic craft. It is a necessity\, a form of storytelling\, survival\, memory\, and care. I n landscapes shaped by cold climates and long winters\, textiles have beco me vessels of warmth\, protection\, repair\, and continuity\, carrying tra ces of everyday life and cultural identity across generations. \nTHE COLD STITCH brings together artists from across Scandinavia whose practices eng age with textiles as both material and language. Through quilting\, patchw ork\, collage\, weaving\, hand embroidery\, sculptural textiles\, and visi ble and invisible stitching\, this exhibition explores how textile traditi ons have continued to evolve within contemporary art. The exhibition’s t itle refers both to the geography of the North\, the relationship with tex tiles and the act of stitching itself. \nA stitch repairs\, connects\, lay ers\, and transforms. It binds fragments together while allowing histories \, emotions\, reflections on the political climate\, and personal narrativ es to remain visible. Echoing this feature\, many of the works in the exhi bition embrace reuse and transformation\, giving discarded fabrics\, garme nts\, yarns\, and textile remnants new meaning through the artistic proces s. \nTHE COLD STITCH celebrates textile art as a living and evolving pract ice deeply rooted in the cultures of the North\, where there is a strong t radition of working with textiles as an art form and where stitching conti nues to mend\, preserve\, and reimagine the world around us. \nBanner imag e credit: Ellen Dynebrink\, Kiyoshi Yamamoto\, Nora Strand\, Lee Jensen\, and Heidi Hankaniemi \nTEXTILE TAKEOVER is presented in partnership with N ew York Textile Month.

But the summer Iŋg á is thirteen\, they arrive to find their home and possessions have disap peared under water\, the land flooded by a dam built to supply hydropower to a society that has continually stolen from them. \nThe Home of the Drow ned follows these women’s fortunes over forty years—from 1942 to 1982 —as the water their people have lived near for centuries is transformed into a menacing force that threatens all they hold dear. Defying the autho rities\, Rávdná decides to build a proper house on the lake to replace w hat was lost\, becoming an unlikely activist even as her actions isolate h er family from the rest of the community. Meanwhile\, Ánne’s health is in decline\, and a concerned Iŋgá merely longs to live like everyone els e—an impossible wish when the Swedish state is relentlessly drowning her world. \nOut now from University of Minnesota Press\, The Home of the Dro wned “paints a stunning portrait of the tenacity of an Indigenous people jarred\, displaced\, and neglected by so-called progress” (Jon Hickey\, author of Big Chief).

Like his forefathers\, beekeeper Olof (a stellar Adam Lundgren) keeps bees and drives a snowplough in wintertime to keep the bills paid f or his family\, consisting of his mother\, sister and his prickly teenage daughter Lise. \nWith a delicate touch\, the film deftly captures life in the countryside\, portraying both the everyday and the existential\, from the humming of beehives to a relationship on the verge of collapse. Direct ed and co-written by Marcus Carlsson\, who co-wrote the script with star A dam Lundgren\, and featuring an atmospheric score by Janne Schaffer\, this is a sensitive story of loss\, silence\, longing for closeness\, hope and facing our fears. \n\nPurchase Tickets LAST-MODIFIED:20260729T182659Z LOCATION:Scandinavia House\, 58 Park Avenue\, New York\, NY\, 10016\, Unit ed States URL:https://www.scandinaviahouse.org/event/the-quiet-beekeeper-new-nordic- cinema/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Scandinavia House X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.scandinaviahouse.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:FELTED NESTING BOWLS | WORKSHOP WITH HILARY SNELL DTSTART:20260917T213000Z DTEND:20260917T233000Z DTSTAMP:20260806T002826Z UID:10005870-1789666200-1789673400@www.scandinaviahouse.org CATEGORIES:arts,education DESCRIPTION:Create your own felted nesting bowls in this workshop series l ed by Scandinavia House’s veteran knitter Hilary Snell! \nIn this 4-part series\, participants will learn how to cast on and knit in the round on double pointed needles to make a small\, knitted bowl.

David Delfs Erbo Andersen is an associate professor in the Departmen t of Political Science at Aarhus University whose work centers on causes o f democratization and democratic stability. \nDenmark\, Norway\, and Swede n enjoy some of the happiest populations and highest standards of living i n the world\, thanks in part to stable\, democratic systems of government. Here\, David Delfs Erbo Andersen presents a syncretic history of politica l and socioeconomic developments in the three Scandinavian countries since the early modern period\, and contrasts their peaceful transitions with t he more dramatic histories of otherwise similar European countries\, like France and Germany. Unlike these and many other countries—the United Sta tes among them—Scandinavia’s transition to democracy from monarchy was not marked by major violent upheavals or extreme political antagonism. \n Rather\, Scandinavia’s peaceful process of democratization owed itself t o the development of a penetrative bureaucracy in the early modern period and the activism of cooperative associations\, first of farmers in the ear ly nineteenth century and then of industrialized workers in the late ninet eenth and early twentieth centuries. Thanks to the gradual\, relatively co nsensual adoption of political reforms and social norms\, the history of “Nordic democratic exceptionalism” today helps account for the ongoing stability of the Scandinavian countries. \nOut now from University of Wis consin Press\, this in-depth study from political scientist David Delfs Er bo Andersen compares the formation of states and their impact on social cl asses and democratization from the sixteenth to the early twentieth centur ies in Denmark\, Norway\, and Sweden\, in contrast with Prussia and France . \nREGISTER LAST-MODIFIED:20260818T191104Z URL:https://www.scandinaviahouse.org/event/democratization-in-the-nordic-w orld/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Scandinavia House X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.scandinaviahouse.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:RETHINK WASTE.

We need solutions that create economic value for businesses and individual s while advancing climate goals. One place to look for these solutions is in our waste. \nThe Circularity Gap Report estimates that roughly €25.4 trillion in economic value is lost globally each year through linear “t ake-make-waste” practices. This “Value Gap” represents 31% of global GDP\, meaning that for every €3 of economic value created worldwide\, a bout €1 is lost. \nIncreasing circularity\, which simply means keeping m aterials in use for as long as possible\, could reduce greenhouse gas emis sions by 39%. Circularity is not only good for the bottom line and the env ironment\, but can also improve quality of life through more durable produ cts\, greater affordability\, and connected communities. \nIf the benefits are so clear\, what will it take to scale circularity? How do we align bu sinesses\, governments\, and communities around a shared path forward? \nT o kick off Climate Week NYC\, Scandinavia House is pleased to partner with Columbia Climate School for a conversation on the promise of a circular e conomy. Join leaders from the public and private sectors as they explore practical solutions and emerging innovations\, lessons learned from Nordic leadership\, and the challenges that remain.
