Artivism as a Catalyst for Wellbeing Economies

*The event will be held in English.
Join us for a vibrant evening at the Nordic House, Reykjavik, on 15 April 2026, from 6-8pm (refreshments from 5:30pm), to explore the powerful role of Artivism as a Catalyst for Wellbeing Economies.
In a world facing climate crises, inequality, and social divides, artists and cultural activists are sparking change through creativity and storytelling. This event brings together Icelandic and global voices from the Global Artivism movement and the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll) to celebrate how art intersects with - and drives - economic system change.
The audience will hear from Kumi Naidoo, former leader of both Greenpeace International and Amnesty International. He is now co-founder of the Global Artivism Initiative and President of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. He will be joined onstage by Icelandic artists and changemakers: together they will connect Icelandic artivism to the global movement.
Experience inspiring stories from Icelandic artivists engaged in environmental and constitutional activism, hear updates from global leaders, and join a collective cultural moment that embodies the spirit of artivism.
The full programme will be announced soon.
This gathering is a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate, and imagine new pathways where culture and economy unite for a just and thriving future.
