    Here are some of the conversations that took place in Stofan - A Public Living Room at the Reykjavík City Library.

    Stofan was an experimental project where the Reykjavík City Library worked with different partners on placemaking in 2021 - 2024. 

    Each month a collaborator created a new temporary place that reflects specific social needs. This was a process where we temporarily transformed a space into a place for meaningful interactions. Stofan was a place for citizenship in the making, where you could negotiate ideas of belonging, perform your identity, connect with others and practice community care. We use all our senses to explore the surroundings, ideas and understandings we would like to see in our communities. In each step of this journey, we got closer to the library of the future. In the process we have danced, learned about rights, racism and climate issues, shared food and culture, told personal stories, took a shower, stayed silent, imagined different futures, painted and recharged our batteries.

    An overview of the diverse places created can be found on the project webpage: borgarbokasafn.is/en/stofan-public-living-room

    Hér getur þú hlustað á nokkur af samtölunum sem fóru fram í Stofunni - A Public Living Room á Borgarbókasafninu.

    Stofan var tilraunaverkefni sem fól í sér mánaðarlega umbreytingu á rýmum Borgarbókasafnsins í Grófinni frá 2021 til 2024. Ólíkir einstaklingar eða hópar fengu frjálsar hendur á safninu til endurskapa valið rými eftir sínu höfði. Með Stofunni skoðuðum við hvernig við viljum hafa almenningsrýmin okkar. Hvað er það við staði sem fær okkur til að setjast niður, staldra við og jafnvel hefja samtal við næsta mann?

    Í Stofunni höfum við meðal annars stigið trylltan dans, frætt okkur um réttindi og loftlagsmál, deilt mat og menningu, sagt persónulegar sögur, farið í sturtu, aukið skynbragðið, dvalið í þögn, ímyndað okkur nýjar framtíðir og endurhlaðið batteríin. Yfirlit yfir fjölbreyttar útgáfur Stofunnar má finna á verkefnasíðunni: borgarbokasafn.is/stofan
