The Beauty of living together

by Ásrún Magnúsdóttir, Gunnur Martinsdóttir Schlüter & Olga Sonja Thorarensen

The Beauty of Living Together is a guided tour around downtown Reykjavík where the guides are differently abled young people. The guides invite audiences to different places that are them meaningful. They share stories, songs, dances, dreams and moments or fantasies at each place. These places can be restaurants, a hidden nature paradise, an important institution or anything in between. Each member of the group has chosen a place that is special to them and they want to share with other people.  We know Reykjavík differently, have different experiences, moments and memories from the same places. With this work you are given a chance to travel in a big diverse group around the city center, that is overly touristic and get to know it differently.
