When working with young unemployed people of foreign origin who have few ties to society, it is important to introduce them to all kinds of culture. That way they hopefully become interested in Icelandic society and want to connect with it more. This week Björk and Amadeusz took 12 participants of The Opportunity to Kjarvalsstaðir. First with a talk about Kjarval and a few selected artists. The participants this time are all young men, and it was a particular joy to introduce them to the art of Kristín Gunnlaugsdóttir and see all her vulvas at Kjarvalsstaðir together.
Yes, The Opportunity really is a different approach to services for young marginalised people — and that is challenging.
