Bat Calligraphy: Calligraphy Workshop
We will paint the spectograms of bats with ink. A spectogram is the visualization of bat sounds. The spectograms look like lines but vary in their form. The art of calligraphy says that you can practice all your life doing one line. One line is very rich just like the one sound of a bat. While we paint, we will listen to their screams and see their screams portrayed on a screen.
This space will be a concentrated room where we can go deep into a meditative state of repetition.
Ink and paper will be provided.
Who can participate? This workshop series is open to everyone. We ask that children are accompanied by an adult carer. There is a maximum number of participants per workshop, we therefore ask the you RSVP in good time to secure a space.
Accessibility: Warehouse9 has level free entrance to the space and an accessible toilet that can be accessed via a certified stairlift.
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

Connect with a bat species and feel the freedom of flying and screaming!

This is the final presentation of performance artist and climate activist Linh Le who has reached her end of the 1-month residency as part of Unlisted Projects, a collaboration between Warehouse9 and MoHA.

Linh Le Open Studio (Fusebox Festival, ATX)
Presented in partnership with The Museum of Human Achievement and Fusebox Festival. This event takes place in Austin, Texas.
Text from event website:
Denmark based artist in residence thanks to the residency exchange of Warehouse9 (Copenhagen, Denmark), Unlisted Projects (Austin, TX) and The Museum of Human Achievement (Austin, Texas).
More info on the open studio coming soon!
Linh Le (she / her) works with performative activism and fights for a just world for life on earth. At the moment, she explores the sensuousness and philosophy of species, making rituals for the diversity of life.
Linh Le is of a new generation of artists who with their own bodies are exploring the possibility of finding a balance between a growing desperation in a world of polycrisis and maintaining the belief in a different way of being human / species.
As a child of freedom fighters who came to Denmark as boat refugees from Vietnam, and as a witness to their struggles in Danish society, Linh Le is strongly called to free herself through dance, to challenge the norms, to transcend boundaries and explore how the body can act, transform and demand space for the less heard voices.
Linh Le is educated in Aesthetics and Culture from Aarhus University and Performance Design & Planning from Roskilde University. She is co-founder and member of the performance climate activist group Becoming Species which in close alliance with Extinction Rebellion and Embassy of the Species Copenhagen has made several performative actions in public space to amplify nature’s diverse voices.
Linh Le is also a member of Dance Cooperative, an artist-run platform and association with a physical work- and event space in Valby Copenhagen, organized by 14 local performance artists.
This Residency is funded with the support of: Embassy of Denmark Washington D.C.,The Consulate General of Denmark in Houston, Scan Design Foundation, the Danish Arts Foundation, the Cultural Arts Department in Austin and The City of Copenhagen.
