“When I first visited the Arctic, I had this majestic feeling I cannot quite explain.  I felt a magnetic belonging to nature.” – Eldbjørg Hemsing

We start a journey around the world by travelling to points north.  Works and performances by women from Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and a performance recorded in the Arctic Circle.
