    Rusten foodtruck på Roskilde Festival
    Wednesday, July 3, 2019 - 12:00 - Saturday, July 6, 2019 - 23:45
    Det vrimler med streetfood på Roskilde Festival, men se dig godt for. Et sted på festivalpladsen kan du finde den danske kunstner Søren Aagaards land art-skulptur Hawwāh. Værket har form af en rusten streetfood-truck; halvt nedsunket i gruset. Overmalet og ramponeret, med smeltet plastikinteriør og store dynger af tang, ligner vognen noget, der har overlevet apokalypsen.

  • LYDSPOR
    8. klasserne på Absalons Skole har skulle forholde sig til at lyd og det at lytte. Hvordan lytter man aktivt, og hvordan kan man skabe fortællinger med lyde? Udgangspunktet har været udstillingen Bjerget synger - lydmaler Knud Viktor og hans verden, men opgaven har været temmelig fri.
