Presented in this spring's "Fog Swept Islands: Faroe Islands Culture Days," see a celebration of Faroese Design, Wool, and Knitting at Scandinavia House!
In the first part of this program held at Scandinavia House on April 20, 2024,
see the short documentary THE WOOL ISLANDS (dir. Beinta á Torkilsheyggi and Marianna Mørkøre, 16 min.), followed by an introduction of the six Faroese brands participating in Fog Swept Islands: Einstakt, Shisa Brand, Navia, REKA, Steinum, and Durita Thomsen.
In part 2 of the program, actress, model and sheep owner Isabella Rossellini moderated a discussion with Sissal Kristiansen (Shisa Brand and The Wool Islands initiator), Jóhanna av Steinum (Steinum), and Óli Kristian á Torkilsheyggi (Navia). Their conversation explored wool, traditions, knitting and fashion - how the Faroese (historically and to today) have contributed on these topics. See Part 2 of the program here:
