Norðrið er sýning á barnabókasafni Norræna hússins sem býður ungum gestum inn í skapandi og hugmyndaríkt rými, innblásið af norðlægri náttúru, jöklum og ævintýraheimum. Norðrið opnar á sama tíma og myndlistarsýningin Gárur: umbreytingar á norðurslóðum opnar í sýningarýminu Hvelfingu og má finna verk listamannanna einnig inni á barnasýningunni. Lögð er áhersla á að börn og fjölskyldur geti dvalið, skapað og unnið listrænt undir áhrifum verka sýningarinnar.
Verk eftir börn frá Höfn í Hornarfirði og Snæfellsbæ, sem búa í nágrenni jökla, skapa grunnstemningu sýningarinnar og kalla fram tengsl við ís, ljós, kyrrð og kraft náttúrunnar. Nemendur í Hagaskóla hafa hannað ævintýraheim þar sem gestir geta stigið inn í annan veruleika, meðal annars átt notalega stund inni í tjaldi í anda sama hirðingja, þar sem hugmyndir um ferðalög, skjól og samveru fá að blómstra.
Íshella- og jöklastemning mótar rýmið og hvetur gesti til að upplifa norðrið með öllum skilningarvitum: að leika, ímynda sér, skapa og tengjast bæði náttúru og list á eigin forsendum.
Verk á forsíðu: „Ripples, Dreaming of Beach“ eftir Ivínguak Stork Høegh

The North is an exhibition at the Nordic House Children’s Library that invites visitors into a creative and imaginative space inspired by northern nature, glaciers, and fairytale worlds. The North opens at the same time as the art exhibition Ripples: Shifting Realities in the Arctic, in the Hvelfing exhibition space, and the artists’ works can also be found on the walls in the children’s exhibition. The emphasis is on children and families being able to stay, create, and work artistically under the influence of the works in the exhibition.
Works by children from Höfn in Hornarfjörður and Snæfellsbær, who live in the vicinity of glaciers, create the basic atmosphere of the exhibition and evoke connections with ice, light, silence, and the power of nature. Students at Hagaskóli have designed a fairytale world where visitors can step into another reality, including having a cozy time inside a tent in the spirit of the Sami nomads, where ideas about travel, shelter, and togetherness are allowed to flourish.
An ice cap and glacier atmosphere shapes the space and encourages guests to experience the north with all their senses: to play, imagine, create, and connect with both nature and art on their own terms.
