All events at Warehouse9 are considered “relaxed”. We operate with a safer space policy and will not tolerate any form of discrimination.
Can I participate in more than one workshop? Yes! Feel free to participate in 1, 3, or 5!
Who will facilitate the workshops? Artist, long-eared-bat ambassador and climate activist Linh Le. You can read more about her in her bio below.
Language: English / Danish – depending on needs of the group.
Please Note: Warehouse9 is housed in an old factory building. We recommend that you wear warm clothes.
Much of the methods and knowledge about bats that will be explored during this workshop series come from Linh Le’s participation in the CopenhAustin residency and as a volunteer at Austin Bat Refuge
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Linh Le is a performance artist and climate activist. She is also the ambassador of the long-eared bat and part of the performance climate activist collective Becoming Species. Linh spends her time exploring nature, different species and making collective spaces for reflection and action. Besides that, she is also studying NVDA – non-violent direct action and the different strategies to confront injustices and create change.
Playing and exploring with community and other species are at the core of Linh’s practice.
Linh will share her methods in exploring bats which have been developed during her one-month CopenhAustin residency by WH9 and MoHA.
