• Eden - a performance (2025) author(s): Nína Sigríður Hjálmarsdóttir connected to: Iceland University of the Arts published in: Research Catalogue
  „Í okkar Eden er lykt af píku og nýslegnu grasi, og hrúga af hálfétnum eplum í horninu. Það er eitthvað skrítið við okkar Eden, eitthvað á ská, eitthvað óþægilegt. Adam & Eva eru ekki að leika hlutverkin sín eins og þau hafa alltaf gert.“ Embla Guðrúnar Ágústsdóttir og Nína Hjálmarsdóttir kafa ofan í sköpunarsöguna og taka sér pláss í sjálfum aldingarðinum upprunalega. Eden er hinsegin fötlunarparadís sem afmiðjar norm samfélagsins og leyfir áhorfendum að finna fyrir hinu erótíska innra með sér.

  AS HOLA (2025) author(s): Aðalheiður Sigursveinsdóttir published in: Research Catalogue, Iceland University of the Arts
  AS this is an informal tale, restating my master’s studies. AS I was in the midst of a Uturn, entering formal art education, my hopes and expectations were unclear but deeply felt. AS ever, I feel compelled to question, review, examine some more. AS every question gives an indication to the inner world of the questioner. AS if I want to know if there is a pattern or a path? AS a collector I have documented, framed and reflected with words and stored. As curators act I showcase my creative learning journey.

  ÖR - AS ongoing loop (2025) author(s): Aðalheiður Sigursveinsdóttir published in: Research Catalogue, Iceland University of the Arts
  AS this is my final project about my final project at the University of the Arts in Iceland, it serves as a reflection on my own artistic process. AS I am completing my MA in Performing Arts, this moment signifies an ending, yet I feel I am still in the midst of processing it. AS I set out to create a documentary play rooted in personal experience, aiming to bring realism to the stage. AS I allowed myself throughout the process to repeatedly ask: what am I truly confronting? AS I came to realize that, in the beginning, I was not being honest with myself. AS I tended to lean toward abstraction, to fix things, to escape into dreams rather than meet myself with clarity. AS I was not truthful to my own state of being. AS a way to hold myself accountable, ÖR ultimately became a kind of encounter, with a meeting within a Program of Honesty. AS if ÖR blends inner and outer realities, flowing in a hybrid form of lived and performed experience. AS are my initials, it echos in my writings. AS an ongoing loop.
