PROGRAMME 2016

Remembering the Nowhere Vladimir Tomić (DK)

15 January - 13 March:

Vladimir Tomic’s exhibition Remembering the Nowhere consists of images taken from family albums and a collection of private objects gathered from the former Yugoslavian diaspora, who came to Denmark during the 90s, mostly as refugees. In combining art film/experi-mental documentary, family photographs and objects from before, during and after the war in former Yugoslavia, Vladimir Tomić engages with personal, yet collective memories from this group of people.

The exhibition is supported by The Danish Arts Foundation.

Always, In Spite of EverythingMimi Cherono Ng’ok (Kenya)

18 March - 1. May:

Always, In Spite of Everything focuses on universal themes of identity, belonging, migration and growth – issues that affect us all. Working with analogue photog-raphy, Cherono invites the viewer to reflect on intimate issues regarding home, belonging, and the complex nature of dislocation.

The exhibition is supported by The Danish Arts Foundation and DCCD (CKU) and is a part of Images 2016.

In Between - In TransitGeorge Awde (USA/LBN), Stefanie Zofia Schultz (DEU), Omar Imam (SYR), Gohar Dashti (IRN), Tanya Habjouqa (JOR) Curated by Peggy Sue Amison (USA)

6 May - 26 June:

In the group exhibition In Between - In Transit each artist’s project offers a variety of visual narratives which individually reflect on a civilization in transi-tion. Through photography and film, the artists explore stories from people who have traveled to a culture that is markedly different from the one in which they were born.

On May 29 a seminar with the artists and the curator will be held in connection with Art Weekend Aarhus.

The exhibition is supported by The Danish Arts Foundation, Aarhuus Stiftstidende Foundation, Merchant F.L Foghts Foundation and The City of Aarhus.
