| Summary: | The video essay disseminates the work Eyja, a site specific, participatory performance performed in Hrísey an Island off the north coast of Iceland. The piece is a contemplative performative experience on what it means to belong and is a part of an artistic research ´How Little is Enough, Sustainable Methods of Performance for Transformative Encounters. The challenges of the Hrísey reflect the global challenges of current times. The settlement on the island has been categorised as being vulnerable, where life and lifelihood is fragile and different measures have been put into place to strenghen the home settlement. Through nature observations, genuine exchange, symbolic gestures and structured dialogue, human and non human existence on the “island“ is contemplated in the gentle hands of the future of the island, the children. The project is a part of a cross disciplinary Research School within Lund University focusing on Agenda 2030.
