The Chair of the newly-made Northern
Marginal Association is Tove Forssell. “We
started with the idea of bringing the Finn-
ish forest to Iceland, where there famous-
ly is very little forest,” she says. “From
there the idea grew and matured into the
Northern Marginal Festival, which uses
the word ‘marginal’ as the connecting de-
nominator.”
The resulting exhibition, entitled ‘In
The Icelandic Wood’, figuratively plants
the Finnish forest, with all of its diversity,
onto the Icelandic tundra. Tove says for-
ests have long played an important part
in the lives of Finnish people and their
culture, and that the goal of the exhibit is
to bring the mythology of the forest to Ice-
land.
The festival has two other components.
‘Mømø’ is focused on the different musi-
cal styles for which Finland is renowned.
It includes shows with celebrated Finnish
metal bands Finntroll and Black Crucifix-
ion, and a gig with punk outfit Räjäyttäjät,
all three at Gaukurinn on separate dates,
and a performance at Hallgrímskirkja by
the promising young organist Pétur Sa-
kari. ‘Syndrome’ is the film element of the
festival, taking its name from the 2012 flick
‘The Punk Syndrome’, and will take place
mostly at Tjarnarbíó.
Perhaps in keeping with the infor-
mality of Icelandic society, Tove says that
getting big acts like Finntroll to perform
at the new and unknown festival was as
simple as just asking them.

September 21-27
The Northern Marginal Festival came about almost by
accident. Originally planned as an innovation seminar at
the Nordic House by eleven students studying Culture
Management and Production at Finland’s HUMAK University
of Applied Sciences. The project quickly expanded when those
involved realised they could do something more with their
brief. The Northern Marginal Festival was born.
