About this event
Iceland's bathing culture gets taken seriously as a social practice rather than a spa product, in a discussion moderated by writer and documentary director Andri Snær Magnason. Part of Taste of Iceland, the Icelandic cultural festival that lands in New York each autumn, and staged in Scandinavia House's Park Avenue home. An easy, warm early-evening start to a Friday for anyone curious about Nordic ideas of communal life.
Why we picked it
A genuinely free Taste of Iceland session on why bathing together is a radical act, led by one of Iceland's best-known writers.
