Voices in the Shadows of Monuments guided by Barly Tchibanda
Join us for an audio walk in the inner city that explores material traces of Denmark’s colonial history in Copenhagen's city center, interweaving past and present narratives in a polyphonic soundscape.
In collaboration with re:arc institute, we present this audio walk that examines material traces from the colonial era embedded in buildings and monuments in the centre of Copenhagen. The walk takes you from Christianshavns Torv to Kongens Nytorv, creating a polyphonic soundscape. The artists Jupiter J. Child (MZ/DK), La Vaughn Belle (USVI), Sirí Paulsen (GL/DK), Sabitha Söderholm (DK/IN), Oceana James (USVI), Julie Edel Hardenberg (GL) and Bernard Akoi-Jackson (GH) create narratives that intertwine different geographies and times: past and present interweave and testify to how colonialism is not a closed chapter, but still has strong reverberations in the present.
Please bring a pair of headphones and a tablet / smartphone from which you can play the audio.
Meeting point at Lagkagehuset, Torvegade 45
