More on Teenagers in Reykjavík

In 2015, curators Alexander Roberts and Ásgerður G. Gunnarsdóttir founded a new platform under the title Teenagers in Reykjavík. The focus of this platform was to bring challenging and experimental approaches to the performing arts into conversation with young people in the city. The platform is geared towards empowering the voices and agency of young people in the city through significant collaborations with artists working in the performing arts field.

Since the beginning, Teenagers in Reykjavík has been commissioning works, workshops, symposiums and festivals and has become recognised internationally for the founding of a teenage curatorial platform.

The platform has worked with artists including Sarah Vanhee, Mammalian Diving Reflex, Þordís Zoega, Alexander Roberts, Anna Kolfinna Kuran, Ásrún Magnúsdóttir, Ingri Fiksdal, Dance for Me, among others.

The platform is artistically led by Alexander Roberts and Ásgerður G. Gunnarsdóttir in collaboration with a team of teenage curators. Teenagers in Reykjavík are increasingly touring abroad to give talks and workshops, as well as curate programmes.

The project is supported by The Children Culture Fund
