Close Encounters: Embodied Journeys
Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art and Dansehallerne look forward to opening the doors to the fifth edition of Close Encounters on June 6th, 2023. A unique choreographic exhibition that unites visual art, dance, and performance. For each edition of Close Encounters, we present a new angle on the fruitful relationship between contemporary art and choreography.
The year 2020 (#blacklifematters) was marked by a showdown with social and racial injustice in many countries, including Denmark. Since then, there has been a greater focus on the importance of allowing non-dominant voices and narratives to be heard. This year鈥檚 Close Encounters #5 is curated by Julienne Doko and is EMBODIED JOURNEYS 鈥� a choreographic exhibition which brings together performers, visual artists, and dancers in a presentation of reflections on internal and external views of the black body. Julienne Doko has invited Danish-based pan-African/Afro-European artists to produce works which through dance, performance, and installation art examine their identity as one of the 鈥渙thers鈥� in Denmark and give us an expanded perspective on Danishness.
