Pots and Pans Revolution - Before

Collected by: KRIA - The Icelandic Constitution Archives

Archived since: Nov, 2020

Description:

The Icelandic financial crisis protests, also referred to as the Kitchenware, Kitchen Implement, or Pots and Pans Revolution (Búsáhaldabyltingin), occurred in the wake of the Icelandic financial crisis. A new constitutional process began to develop due to a new government (formed after elections in late April 2009) and an opportunity for change within society. This collection contains documentaries, media coverage (domestic and international), blogs, artworks, national polls, protest coverage, interviews, parliamentary documents and announcements, books on the collapse, investigative reports, and presentations on the topic.
