Winter Solstice: Special Guided Tour

We gather in celebration of the year’s darkest day and the final closing day of “In the Darkness, We Ask the Sun to Remember Us”

Join us for a special solstice gathering in the exhibition In the Darkness, We Ask the Sun to Remember Us, in celebration of the year’s darkest day and the final closing of the exhibition. 

Here, visual artist Ida Raselli will lead us on an atmospheric and sensory journey into the deepest dark of nature and the exhibition. Together, we will find a unique presence in the stillness and rest, before nature’s cycle once again offers new light, new activity, and new projects in the coming year. What does the darkness feel like? What does silence sound like? How does calm taste? Together, we will slow our pace and sense the ultimate dormant point of nature and the year, before the light is reborn and nourishes us with new sprouting energy. 

Along the way, we will offer something warm to drink and baked to eat. Please dress warmly and comfortably. 

Ida Raselli (DK) explores the connection between the body’s and nature’s shared cycles, which she poetically weaves together in both texts and artworks. With her hands deep in Denmark’s clay, she creates works and writings born of bodily experience, a special contact with nature’s changes, and a profound understanding of her earthy material. In this way, she seeks to find hope in a world shaped by climate challenges. 

The event will be held in Danish, but non-danish speakers are very welcome and will be able to enjoy and follow the content as well.
