Join us on our autumn holiday adventure as we follow artist Karoline Ebbesen’s dotted white stitches from her own lifetime a hundred years ago to the present day, where many artists still work with inspiration from her creative universe filled with moons, one-winged angels, and intricate alphabets.

Take a seat around the round table in our creative workshop, where we will be painting, embroidering, sewing, gluing, and sculpting based on Karoline Ebbesen’s ideas throughout the fall break. Or join us on a family tour of the exhibition, which takes place every day during the fall break from 2:00 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.

Karoline was a patient at the Sct. Hans psychiatric hospital and created art from the materials she could find around her in the hospital, such as paper, pieces of fabric, thread, yarn, and clippings from newspapers and magazines. During the fall break, we will spark our imaginations and build on Ebbesen’s 100-year-old visual universe, as many other artists have done. We will explore how our world is in many ways built on inspiration and how important it is to celebrate each other’s good ideas so that our stories can survive for the next 100 years.

Participation is free and no advance registration is required.

Age group from 3 years.

Kaååråålines Verses
The exhibition Kaååråålines Vers (Kaååråålines Verses) is the Roskilde Museum of Contemporary Art’s autumn exhibition, displayed in Kurhuset, located in the former Sankt Hans Hospital, where the artist Karoline Ebbesen lived from the mid-1880s until her death in 1936. During her long hospitalization, Ebbesen produced works in textiles, embroidery, collage, drawing, and text, and developed her own font and alphabet. The exhibition presents Ebbesen’s works alongside new large-scale installations by Danish and international artists, all with direct references to Ebbesen.
