The organization Citizen21 invites everyone to the first of a series of evening parties – an informal event that places the individual at the center.

In the belief of compassion and active citizenship Citizen21 raises over identification patterns, which we usually work with such as race, religion, political affiliation etc.

This evening aims to raise awareness about active citizenship in today’s society in the 21st Century. And if you need a shot of energy, you don’t have to leave since the location is at the Cuban bar Fidel’s filled with a warm ambiance and colorful cocktails with lots of fruit.

As part of Copenhagen Photo Festival you will have the chance to join a symposium where you can start a debate with eight of the artists who are participating in the main exhibition of the festival.

The theme of the debate will mainly be focusing on the status of photography within both media and art between fiction and documentation so you can probably expect lots of topics within this field to be turned upside down.

During the symposium you will also have a rare opportunity to meet all eight photographers who will be presenting their work, ready to discuss theory and practice. So come and join the debate and take a look at some of the most interesting photos of today and meet the people behind the images.

To join the event just send an email to conference@copenhagenphotofestival.com

Come by Ignite Denmark, if you are curious and like to be entertained, provoked or inspired.

This is the second edition. Last time, there weren’t any English speaking presenters, but this time, there will be for sure.

More than 15 presenters will each have 5 minutes to present their passions – it’s highly energized. For instance, you can hear about working with social media or about how narratives can lead to changes. Grab a beer and talk with the speakers in the break or after the event. Maybe it will ignite new interesting projects and ventures.

See you there :-)

The movie fever has hit Copenhagen these days in connection with CPH PIX. In addition to enjoying various films, this Sunday afternoon you can also take part in a debate on horror effects and sounds.

Why do we feel horrified when a little girl suddenly gets the voice of the devil? Or when the cannibal whispers the name Clarice? Some of the most talented people  in Danish horror sounds will try to answer these questions.

Among other you will find director Martin Barnewitz (‘Kollegiet’ / ‘The Dorm’) and sound composer Peter Albrechtsen (‘Antichrist’) in the panel. You can expect plenty of movie clips and sounds. Afterwards there will be live sounds from Emil de Waal + Spejderrobot. They will all make your teeth rattle, so stay tuned and drop by – if you dare.

Wednesday evening also means documentaries evening in the company of Doc Lounge. This time Doc Lounge invites you to a screening of the movie ‘Mumbai Disconnected’ by directors Camilla Nielson and Frederik Jacobi.

The documentary highlights the growing population in the city by following some of the people who in their own way relate to Mumbai’s traffic challenges.

Nielson and Jacobi’s movie is also a part of the series ‘Cities On Speed’. It’s estimated that in 2030 more than 80% of the world population will be living in ‘megacities’. This growth creates new and unforeseen problems which require new ways of thinking and creative solutions.

On this Wednesday evening you can meet Camilla Nielson after the screening for a Q & A. Dj Our Soundtrack will be playing lovely tunes before and after the movie.

Together with Huset ved Kongens Have the Theory & Practice team presents the first session of a series called Science & Cocktails.

As the name indicates Theory & Practice wishes to impart knowledge sharing while creating events at the same time. This is why the team uses the phrase ‘Edutainment’ which is a contraction of education and entertainment.

On the night the Danish theoretical physicist Holger Bech Nielsen will digress on the miracles that stopped the largest particle accelerator in world to function. Lars Schmidt will pay a tribute to the father of the cocktail, “Professor” Jerry Thomas. Both lectures will be in English and afterwards you’ll have the chance to hang out and chat while listening to old jazz records played by dj Henrique de Souza.

There are limited number of seats so if you want to join send an email to jay@husetvedkongenshave.dk with your name and number of seats.

60 artists of different nationalities meet 22 Danish art colleagues for a public international art exhibition. Go for non-stop art in action: performance, music, theatre, poetry, installations and much more.

Transitstation is on tour through European countries and transports artists and their work from city to city. At each stop, people and artists get on board, while others leave, thereby making the journey transitional, fluid and to some extent indeterminate.

The event is focusing on the question - Where is the art?

The weekend will be followed by a EduAction Day, Monday 19 April, with interviews, artist talks, workshops and artist food. 16:00-19:00

This afternoon at Pixel, three artists will show you video works followed by a debate about the potentials of contemporary art.

The three artists, Jérome Fino, Brad Downey and The Wa, each works within very different genres of sculpture, film and graphics. But still, action plays a defining role in their work, whether it takes place in public or private space, or whether carefully planned or improvised.
