I am from Reykjavik is a project where I, Sonia Hughes, try to be welcome and welcoming anywhere. An attempt to be a citizen of everywhere. In order to get to know the Royal Docks and the City of London better, I'd like to meet you, someone who lives or works in those places who is a bit like me. I would like to meet: Someone who is a child f an immigrant A woman in her 50s A single mother of a single child Someone who used to be a political activist Someone who has a degree in IT Someone with a parent with Alzheimer’s Someone who has just taken up yoga (again) Someone who goes to church now and again but doesn’t believe in God Someone who likes organising parties An artist A Black person Someone who’s been married for 5 years Someone who is ambivalent about Brexit A fat woman Someone who started life working class but isn’t quite sure which class they belong to now. If you think you're anything like any one of those things, let's meet in a place of your choosing, we'll chat, we'll have a cup of tea (my shout). There's nothing more to it. I'd like to get to know the place and the people one by one. So send me a message.

I Am From Reykjavik, is incomplete. The build is not finished not all parts have been made. In any case it needs a location, a festival and some passers-by. I have some of things for the project but some of the objects have not been bought or made or thought of. Some are in storage. I’m not coming to Utrecht. Not now. Maybe next year. But I am still here, and you are there and I’d like to invite you to my live writing. Live thinking. Please join me to read as I write live about the objects and ideas in I Am From Reykjavik. The URL will be posted here and on SPRING website 15 minutes before each live writing event. The text will disappear after 24 hours. UK times 10:00 , 13:00, 20:00 Netherlands times 11:00, 14:00, 21:00 Each performance is 30 minutes long. HOSTED BY SPRING PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVAL, UTRECHT I Am From Reykjavik is co-commissioned by Jerwood Arts, SPILL festival, LIFT, SPRING Performing Arts Festival, Festspillene i Nord-Norge, ILT Festival.
