The line up includes a mix of international artists & some from Iceland´s thriving music scene. DesignMarch is Iceland’s most important annual design festival. The festival’s tenth edition will take place in 2018, transforming the most northerly capital in the world into one big venue for design.

« I had not appreciated that so few people come out in the East Asian countries that my telling them was something extraordinary. This was also the most interesting aspect of the workcamp in terms of trying to expand the awareness of other ways of living, and there was never any hostility or problems because of it. »
