Menningarnótt
Ós Pressan participates in Menningarnótt (Culture Night), an annual cultural event held in Reykjavík. We have organized readings, writing workshops for children, exhibitions and transformed both a car and a container into cozy spots where authors could share their work.

Ós-Car was Ós Pressan's entry into Menningarnótt 2019. The mobile auditory experience and book trunk was located in the heart of the city's activities.

For Menningarnótt 2016, Ós transformed a cold, grey container into a cozy living room set where everyone felt both at home and challenged by new experiences. Authors performed and shared their work as well as mingled with the audience in this surprising space.

For Menningarnótt 2015, a collaboration between Canadian/Icelandic poet Angela Rawlings and visiting Canadian composer Rebecca Bruton explored embodied endurance through trauma and loss. Ós members Agata Wisniewska, Anna Valdis Kro, Ewa Marcinek, Randi Stebbins and Virginia Gillard also performed and read.

For adults on Menningarnótt 2017, Ós offered a reading of original and traditional ghost stories on the third floor of Iðnó, which houses all sorts of artefacts from its years as a theater and performance space. Most of the ghost stories and strange tales were written right in that room and inspired by the items around the authors.

In this event, partnered with Iðnó for Menningarnótt 2017, Larissa Kyzer and Helen Cova organized a ghost story reading and story making workshop for kids of all ages.
