Stofan | Opening- Freaks or Fantastic Role Models?

Tuesday May 14th 2024

Do you remember a film, TV show, book or lyrics featuring a protagonist with disabilities? Tell us about it - how did it make you feel? Did you see a role model or mainly a portrait of someone seen as "abnormal"?

The ÖBÍ - Icelandic Disability Alliance opens a new space to collect examples of the manifestations of disability in pop culture at the Reykjavík City Library during a week: 14th until 22nd of May. Share your ideas with us on location. You can also share your thoughts with us online in the form on this website: Your Input 

The space closes with an open mic event where you can share your ideas on the topic on the 22nd of May at 5 pm in the library location in Grófin.

This temporary space is a part of the project Stofan | Public Living Room. It is an experimental project where the library works with different partners on placemaking at the library. Each month a collaborator creates a new temporary place that reflects specific social needs. This is a process where we temporarily transform a space into a place for meaningful interactions. The theme of Stofan 2023-2024 is Share the Care.
