Tuesday Threads - The Impact and Aftermath of the Landslides in Seyðisfjörður
On October 21st from 16:00–17:00, the fourth lecture in the series Tuesday Threads will be held at the Settlement Exhibition in Aðalstræti. Free admission and everyone is welcome! Please note: The lecture will be in Icelandic. This time, folklorist Guðný Ósk Guðnadóttir will present her recent research about the impact and aftermath of the landslides in Seyðisfjörður. The research explores the experiences of the town’s residents during the mudslides that struck Seyðisfjörður in December 2020, causing immense destruction. It examines both the material and psychological consequences of the disaster, as well as how it affected the residents’ connection to their hometown and their willingness to continue living in the fjord.
