A performance with a down feather workshop where artist and bird keeper Vibeke Emilie Steinsholm takes us into the magical world of the eider and guides us into the care-based agriculture that still exists between people and seabirds on the Vega islands. “ A big, round shape of eider down feather hangs in the middle of the room, with people sitting around it. A quarter of an unrinsed down feather nest is placed on each lap. They clean the feathers. Bits and pieces, seaweed and eggshells from the nest drop on the floor. In the room there are sounds of seabirds from my eider island in Vega on Helgelandskysten. While they clean I, the bird keeper Vibeke Steinsholm, tell them about the 1200-year-old work with the eider along the coast of northern Norway”. Vibeke Emilie Steinsholm works as an artist, bird keeper and intermediary based on the island Vega south in Nordland and in Hysærøyan in the area of world heritage Vega. Many of her projects are inspired by the twelve-hundred-year-old collaboration between seabirds and humans, especially eider birds, which is the foundation for Vegas world heritage status.
