Ástly is a made up word from the combination between the Icelandic word ást (love) and the English word lovely.
"We would like to invite community members from all backgrounds and languages to come together to share and discuss their most beloved words revolving around the language of care and love. In the process we will discuss, deconstruct, and weld syllables, letters and sounds to create new words to be added to the Icelandic language. The outcome of the wordshop could look like a basket of freshly created new words that bring color, joy and ownership to the languages that we speak in our communities."
Wordshop designed and led by Jordic Mist and Chanel Björk.
It is free, open to all ages, and part of the Love Speech Library project.
