Upplýsingar á Bandcamp:
Joshua is a refugee from Nigeria. In the spring of 2019, he was part of an independently organised group of refugees in Iceland that initiated protests against Iceland’s immigration/refugee policies.
The group hoped to be heard by society and the government, demanding a better and more humane treatment of asylum seekers in Iceland, an end to the deportations, equal access to health care, the right to work, the closing of isolated refugee camps, and a substantial review for all applications for asylum.
Like many other refugees from Africa, Joshua reached Europe on a small boat landing on the shores of Italy. There he lived on the streets for several years until he managed to come to Iceland.
Eventually his case got rejected in Iceland and he was deported back to Italy.
Vestur í bláinn is an experimental music project on immigration in Iceland.
It aims to be a space for voices, different languages and stories of people from diverse origins, that are rarely heard in the context of arts or the public in general.
Along with the release of the music project, 'Vestur í bláinn' will be presented as a multidisciplinary art exhibition in Iceland from September 3rd to September 30th. The exhibition takes place in ten public locations all over Reykjavík, with the participation of various local artists, curated by Claire Paugam and Julius Pollux Rothlaender.
All proceedings from sales on bandcamp will be donated to No Borders Iceland.
All music written, recorded and produced by Julius Pollux Rothlaender.

Sigurlaug Thorarensen, vocals.
