In collaboration with the Danish Art Foundation, Verdens Kultur Centret, Performance Køkkenet and the cultural advice of Liveart.dk, The International Performance Art Festival Body Landscapes Copenhagen, appears as a necessity to articulate the individual and collective memory of migrants based in Europe. The project will take place in Verdens Kultur Centret (Nørre Allé 7, Nørrebro) in Copenhagen, which is a cultural center that strengthens the cultural nexus of foreigners in Denmark. Through performance art, the invited artists will create a space of interconnectedness between foreigners and locals.

The project constitutes of workshops and live performances where the participants will question and play with the idea of the migrant memory.
The project is divided into four parts that each last one week. In the beginning of each week, two artists will meet in order to organize one collective experience (workshop or creative laboratory) and one performance session that will be presented during the last day of the week. The artists will have the autonomy to propose the methodology most convenient for developing their own perspective about body and territory.

This second week, the workshops will be guided by:

Rahman Hak-Hagir (afganistan) and Yong Sun Gullach (Korea)

There is a limited admittance, 15 tickets for those who are interested in 3 days of workshops, and depending on the interests of the performance artists, possibly also in the final performance sessions.
