Nattura (Iceland)

Nattura is a movement in Iceland seeking to stir debate and awareness for local environmental issues, especially in relation to the encroaching heavy smelting industry compounding the effects of climate change on Iceland's unique landscapes. Primarily initiated by the artist Bjork, the group has as its goal supporting small businesses and steering Icelandic society and economy towards sustainability.

Here's 2 music clips related to Nattura taken from the National Geographic, both from Icelandic artists I've always been drawn to.

First one's a live rendition of Sigur Ros' Gobbledigook performed during the Nattura concert in June 2008 . Second one's Bjork's Earth Intruders.






Art and sustainability: a fertile mix?
