More information about the panel conversation will be announced closer to the event.

FRID DING: BRUNT HUS

What is a home? How do we map memories? Through sound, movement, and words, Frid Ding explores the connection to their father’s family. Brunt hus is a journey through childhood memories, experiences, and feelings of place and belonging.

ELIAS ELVEGAARD: CRUSHING MEMBRANE

Elias Elvegaard is interested in the dualities that exist in different nuances and perspectives, and is curious about what lies in the layer between opposites. In their own practice, they work extensively with the acceptance of free flow. Elias works intuitively and explores landscapes that move through many layers of varying thickness. Their expression often starts from sensory impressions, using various disciplines such as dance and movement, sound, video, and text.
