Accompanying the exhibition at Walthamstow Wetlands in 2021 is a downloadable audio piece ‘The Island’ by multi-instrumentalist and contemporary composer Erland Cooper. The piece is brought to life with on location field recordings by Kirsi Ihalainen. The essay was first published in 1961 in travel magazine ‘Turistliv i Finland’. The piece is read by Tove’s niece Sophia Jansson and Creative Director of Moomin Oy Ltd. who inspired one of Tove’s most famous works ‘The Summer Book.’ Sophia Jansson joins us for this very special launch event on Facebook live - in-conversation with exhibition curators Mhairi Muncaster and Alison Williams.

This will also be available to watch back after the event ICYMI
