The Eco Art Project Symposium brings together young semi-
professional artists from Iceland, Latvia, Norway and Sweden.
The young artists aim to raise public awareness around issues
related to environment protection. The symposium consists
of two related workshops, in the fields of art/design and mu-
sic/movement. ‘The Other House’ was inspired by the Icelan-
dic music group Muscycle, consisting of four young musi-
cians who can squeeze music out of anything, including from
recycled things that would otherwise end up as trash. GR
