BODY LANDSCAPES FESTIVAL 2017

 

In collaboration with the Danish Art Foundation, VerdensKulturCentret and Performance Køkkenet, The International Performance Art Festival Body Landscapes Copenhagen 2017, appeared as a necessity to articulate the individual and collective memory of migrants based in Europe. The project took place in VerdensKulturCentret (Nørre Allé 7, Nørrebro) in Copenhagen, Denmark. VKC is a cultural center that strengthens the cultural nexus of foreigners in Denmark. Through performance art, the invited artists had created a space of interconnectedness between foreigners and locals. The project had workshops and live performances where the participants had questioned and played with the idea of the migrant memory.

 

The project was divided into four parts that each last one week. At the beginning of each week, two artists met in order to organize one collective experience (workshop or creative laboratory) and one performance session that was presented during the last day of the week.
