May 16-18, 2024: we are excited to share with you this upcoming project of Hosting Lands ~ co-curated by the amazing Aziza Harmel (DAI, 2013) and with among other artists, the participation of equally amazing Harun Morrison (DAI, 2020) as well as former COOP tutor Yin Aiwen (2022-2023) ~ a three day gathering and exhibitionary moment Radical bridges ༄ Stories of the Sea on the ship Svartlöga anchored in a quay in Grenaa harbor. The program will weave together songs and stories, testimonies and traditions, anchored within the realm of the sea. It will explore the sea as a culture, a (living) habitat, a landscape and a contested and deadly migratory territory. Participants are invited to think about how the sea and the boat offer spaces for repair and survival in the environmental and colonial ruins of the past and present.
The programme holds choir performances, story telling sessions, workshops for adults and children, talks, performances, films, and communal dinners by:
Harun Morrison (UK) w. Slupkoret (DK) / Monia Sander Haj-Mohamed (DK) / Marie Kølbæk Iversen (DK) / Ayesha Hameed (UKFI/IN) / Marianne Noer (DK) / Yin Aiwen (CN/NL) / Bureau for Mellemartslig Kommunikation (DK) / Food Koreografi (FR/DK) / Barly Tshibanda (DRC) & Nanna Elvin Hansen (DK)
The programme begins in the afternoon on the 16th. 17th and 18th will include full day and evening programming.
Stay tuned for the detailed programme which will be announced soon and shared via email, and in this facebook event.
