Convergence

For over ten years, núna (now) Iceland Canada Art Convergence has been bringing Icelandic and Icelandic-background artists of all disciplines to Manitoba, as a way of maintaining the cultural bridge between the two places. It is a “bridge” created over 140 years ago when the first Icelandic migrants arrived at Nýja Ísland or New Iceland, a parcel of land along the southwest shores of Lake Winnipeg.

Produced in partnership with núna (now), this issue of CV2 features work on survival, cross-cultural exchange and legacy, as well as interviews with a rawlings, the members of Ós Pressan and Jeramy Dodds.
