The Earth is sick and things are looking grim. Because of that, IÐNÓ is hosting a series of summer events to raise global awareness on how we can live more sustainable lives. Tonight, come explore that with a film screening of ‘Terre Madre,’ a documentary which dives into the world of fast food and the slow food movement. There will be a BioBorgari pop up grill during the screening, in case you need a nibble.

LungA Warm Up Party
19:00 – IÐNÓ – Free!
Iceland’s best arts and music festival is back for 2019. LungA—held annually in the far-easterly outpost of Seyðisfjörður—is an unforgettable time, when this small town comes to life with music, art, and spontaneous creativity. However, for those who can’t make the pilgrimage to East Iceland this summer, there’s a Reykjavík warm-up event taking place at rejuvenated music and arts hub IÐNÓ. Come celebrate LungA 2019 with theatrical punks Grísalappalísa, eerie lo-fi duo Madonna + Child, rising star Prince Fendi, and plenty more weird and wonderful alternative music scene favourites. There will also be a special song by the Icelandic Whistling Orchestra, aerial performances, and plenty of surprises. Very much in the festival’s spirit, the show is BYOI: Bring your own installation.
