Description:

As we look to an uncertain future, many of the dynamic forces at play in Iceland offer valuable insights into coexisting with nature, creative problem solving, and living with a deep artistic engagement. As visitors, as artists and designers, how can we channel, observe, and participate in this rhythm of change, destruction, and regeneration? How does it shape what we make, the conversations we have, and the relationships we form?

Let’s find out together! We will ground our experiential approach in observational science as both model and metaphor for collaborative research and field work. In this three-week interdisciplinary course, students encounter the people, nature, culture, and history of Iceland. The first week takes place in the capital city of Reykjavik where we immerse ourselves in contemporary culture, social life, and the creative work of Icelanders. We visit galleries, museums, and artist studios to situate ourselves in Iceland’s vital interdisciplinary arts scene.Students wishing to register for this course need to first obtain instructor approval by emailing the instructor (instructor emails are listed with a more detailed program description in portal: cca.edu/abroad). Once a student is approved, registration must be done online during a special registration appointment for study abroad students.
