Photography Matinee: ‘Finding Vivian Maier’ Screening
18:00, Andrými, Free!
Imagine finding a suitcase in a storage unit containing 150,000 negatives. These treasures unravelled the secret life of street photographer Vivian Dorothy Maier, a nanny who secretly photographed the world, the good and the ugly. Get ready to be inspired. For the hearing impaired, the movie will have English subtitles.

QRING EFTIR QRING
13:00-18:00, Gallery Port
Journey back to 2014 into an unnamed office on Laugavegur. There, Narfi picked up a ballpoint pen and began drawing patterns, which eventually became this exhibition. Some are large, some small, some logical, some purely chaotic.
