Queerlands Goes Green! 🌱
We’ve invited friends Kræsyndikatet to host this years Queerlands!
Kræsyndikatet presents:
End of the world…
WE CUT THE OLD WORLD TO PIECES
queer ecologies, ecofeminism, degrowth workshop and performance
Join a collective effort where we shape the world into new forms.
Let’s play creatively, destroy the world’s hierarchies, and remodel them together for a moment.
We invite you to a collage workshop, with an opening performance, harsh critique of today’s systems of oppression, and creativity with deep love for community and imagination.
Free to attend. No need to RSVP, just turn up!
Kræsyndikatet (The Syndicate of Creatures) is built around a core of three artists / curators / researchers and art theorists, and we collaborate with a wide variety of professionals. Kræsyndikatet consists of visual artist and art theorist Nanna Gro Henningsen, human ecologist and performer Michelle Appelros, and visual artist and curator Signe Vad.
We create exhibitions, events, workshops, and interventionist projects on topics related to our main focus: rethinking how we inhabit this planet. Our primary approach to this theme is to work poetically, sensorially, mystically, and scientifically.
The workshop will be led by Michelle Appelros and Signe Vad
Michelle Appelros, is an academic with a BA and MSc in Human Ecology with a special interest in storytelling and climate crisis narratives and a participatory action research approach to theory, has a history as a musician and with theater work.
Signe Vad is a visual artist (MFA in visual art) working activistly and interventional with many years of experience in the Danish Artist run DIY scene. She has in extension of her material art, as part of her practice developed, curated and organized many events, galleries, alternative art fairs, festivals, exhibitions and collaborative projects.
What is Queerlands?
Queerlands is a community-led, art-focused space that offers a quieter, more reflective alternative to the official CPH Pride celebrations. Taking place at Warehouse9’s workshop in Vanløse, it’s a space for the queer community to gather, share, and connect — away from the bustle of the inner-city Pride events.
Who is it for?
Everyone is welcome! This is an all-ages event, though children must be accompanied by an adult carer.
How do I attend?
It’s free and no registration is needed — just show up and join in!
Along with the performative element and workshop, there will also be a space to lounge.
Access Information:
Warehouse9 has a level entrance and an accessible toilet, which is reachable via a certified stairlift.
All events are run as relaxed spaces, with a safer space policy in place. We kindly ask visitors to orient themselves to the space and policy upon arrival.
