True North 2025: NYC’s Cultural Northern Lights

In this episode of Nordic & Baltic Talk we step inside True North 2025, the one‑night showcase that transformed Manhattan’s Estonian House into a multisensory forest of art, music, dance, and film. More than forty creators from eight Nordic‑Baltic nations rewired the venue into an immersive journey—birch trunks, projected auroras, live folk‑jazz, even sauna rituals—culminating in a roof‑raising concert finale. We unpack how the event became a milestone for diaspora community‑building, why interdisciplinary collaboration hit so hard, and what it signals for future cultural programming in New York. Relive the magic and catch the takeaways you won’t find in the photo gallery.
