What's really happening in the world's most remote areas? And how has people's encounter with the ice changed over time? Join us as historian Harald Dag Jølle takes us behind the scenes in the polar regions - from the South Pole to the Northwest Passage, from polar bear tagging to deep dives into polar history.
Join us for a unique launch where history, music and living tradition meet! When Anders Lunden Herfoss presents his new book Stranda-spel og Dekka-låttar, you will not only get an insight into the lives of old fiddlers from Ål - you will also get to hear them, through rare archive recordings collected on an accompanying CD. The evening will be filled with stories, pictures and live music from some of the foremost folk musicians in the valley. An experience for both heart and ears!
