Due to the lapse in releases due to a certain podcast producer getting sick, we are bringing you the Hot Happenings episode that should have come out on May 30th today. Luckily it's still very hot, cause it's all about the Reykjavík Arts Festival which is in full swing and going strong until June 16!
The biennale festival has already kicked off with some of the prestigious but highly accessible events we mention in the episode, and there is so much more going on for the next 10 days. With a ton of the programme being free, namely the entire schedule at the Festival Hub in Iðnó, the festival's mandate of inclusivity and access at every level has been truly achieved.
Check out the full schedule on their website: https://www.listahatid.is/en/vidburdir
Lead out track: "Epta" by Ingibjörg Turchi, who plays at the Festival Hub on June 10 at 20:30
