REGENERATIVE COMMUNITIES

A performance program and a community dining event at Fabrikken For Kunst og Design and ART MATTER Festival

REGENERATIVE COMMUNITIES  - performancees and dining

For Open House 2024 performance art took center stage in focus on art’s role as a regenerative community. Visual artist Signe Vad curated a two-part program that activated FABRIKKEN’s large production hall, bringing together artists, local actors from Sundholm, and guests in an exchange of resources and conversations, facilitated by selected performances. The event was a follow up on the Voices of Pythia project developed and curated by the Syndicate of Creatures / Nanna Gro henningsen and Signe Vad 2020-21.

During the Open House from 3-6 PM, four performances were re-staged in new settings by artists Eliyah Mesayer, Jonas Okholm Jensen, Jessie Kleemann, and Mycelium. These performances originated from the series Pythias Stemmer, curated by Kræ Syndikatet. The event created a dynamic space for reflection, interaction, and artistic exploration of regeneration.

For the first time, the Open House concluded with a collective performative long-table dinner. Under the theme Regenerative Communities, performance art became a focal point for conversations and inspiration, inviting guests to explore regenerative thinking through artistic engagement.
