The event opens with a conversation between the artist duo Bêka & Lemoine and Jan Gehl about children's use of urban space and the role of childhood in our increasingly controlled urban society. The conversation lasts approx. 30 min. and will be conducted in English; the short films together last approx. 75 min.
About the guests
Jan Gehl (born in 1936) is one of Denmark's most comprehensive and prominent urban planning architects and is a beacon internationally. His theories on life between buildings have had - and continue to have - significant importance for the development of sustainable urban environments worldwide.
The director and artist duo Ila Bêka (born 1967) and Louise Lemoine (born 1981) explore new narratives and forms of representation in relation to modern architecture and urban environments. The New York Times has called them "cult figures in the European architecture world" and they are widely recognized for their unique contributions to our contemporary understanding of architecture and the perception of the city.

'Spatial Disobedience. Children in Space'
DIRECTORS: Various
A short film program that gathers extraordinary cinematic documents about children's street life from the 1940s to the 1960s: from the canals of Venice to the Spanish quarters in Harlem, from junk playgrounds in Copenhagen to the working-class neighborhood of Belleville in Paris. With a unique freshness, they depict how children, liberated from adult control, make the street their own and transform the city into a place of imagination, exploration, play, and excitement.
The event is made possible thanks to the generous support from the Institut Francais.

Arrangementet åbner med en samtale mellem kunsterduoen Bêka & Lemoine og Jan Gehl om børns brug af gaderummet og barndommens rolle i vores stadigt mere kontrollerede bysamfund. Samtalen varer ca. 30 minutter og foregår på engelsk; kortfilmene varer tilsammen ca. 75 min.
Om gæsterne
Jan Gehl (født i 1936) er en af Danmarks mest vidtfavnende og fremtrædende byplanlægningsarkitekter og er et fyrtårn i international sammenhæng. Hans teorier om livet mellem bygningerne har haft – og har stadig - stor betydning for udvikling af bæredygtige bymiljøer verden over.
Instruktør- og kunsterduoen Ila Bêka (født 1967) og Louise Lemoine (født 1981) udforsker nye narrativer og repræsentationsformer i relation til moderne arkitektur og bymiljøer. The New York Times har kaldt dem "kultfigurer i den europæiske arkitekturverden”, og de er bredt anerkendt for deres unikke bidrag til vores samtids arkitektur-forståelse og by-opfattelse.

'Spatial Disobedience. Children in Space'
INSTRUKTØR: Diverse
Et kortfilmsprogram, der samler ekstraordinære filmiske dokumenter om børns gadeliv fra 1940'erne til 1960'erne: fra kanalerne i Venedig til de spanske kvarterer i Harlem, fra skrammellegepladser i København til arbejderkvarteret Belleville i Paris. Med en unik friskhed skildrer de, hvordan børn, befriet fra de voksnes kontrol, gør gaden til deres egen og forvandler byen til et sted for fantasi, udforskning, leg og begejstring.
