Have you ever wanted to set up an art
exhibit? You know, be that person who
decides where to put what? Well, if that
has ever tickled your fancy, now’s your
chance to cross that off the bucket list.
Visitors to the Reykjavík Museum of
Photography are free to arrange Valdís
Thor’s collection of 100 prints how-
ever they see fit. The culmination of a
decade’s worth of taking photos around
Reykjavík, this is Valdís Thor’s second
exhibit and she is rather excited about
the exhibit coming to life, changing
from one day to the next. So go join in
the fun! AA

Born in Brazil, Jussanam da Silva found her way to Iceland in 2008 and has since
then been contributing to the vibrancy of Iceland’s music scene. In fact, she’s the
only Bossa Nova artist in Iceland. And we hear she’s a damn good one too. So go
check her out at Café Haiti where she performs alongside acclaimed jazz musician
Tómas Einarsson on various evenings in May. Grab some nice coffee beans from
Café Haiti while you’re at it. AA
