Sabina Westerholm is stepping down from her role at the Nordic House in Iceland after guiding the institution through a period of major change. According to HBL, her time in charge included both the coronavirus pandemic and a renovation, forcing the house to adapt its operations.

During her tenure, Westerholm worked to make the Nordic House more accessible, inclusive and relevant to a new era. Her departure marks the end of a period in which a traditional cultural institution was pushed to rethink how it reaches audiences and stays meaningful.
