Exhibition & Film

The touring exhibition and the documentary film tell the story of the driftwood’s journey, offer insights into its Arctic climate records, its key role in Icelandic history and culture and much more. It is available in Icelandic, English and in German and consists of info boards, artistic works and a 45min documentary about our driftwood research. It is variable and can be adapted for different spaces. If you’re interested in hosting the exhibition and/or would like to screen the film, please get in touch with meier@lichtung-berlin.de, we’re delighted to hear from you!
