Jeannette Ehlers, Awa Konaté & Lotte Løvholm

On Wednesday 22 June at 17.00-19.00, Kunsthal Charlottenborg invites you to a talk with artist Jeannette Ehlers and the curators Awa Konaté and Lotte Løvholm to a conversation about the newly opened exhibition Archives in the Tongue: A Litany of Freedom.

The talk will be in Danish and the admission is free.

About the exhibition:

In this summer’s major solo show at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Jeannette Ehlers forges a spiritual and meditative space that sheds light on Afro-Caribbean relations through large and new installations as well as existing works that combine film, performance and photography.

Through the years, Jeannette Ehlers’ practice has given careful attention to Danish colonial history, collectivity and the activist potential of art. Central themes include the representations and boundaries of Blackness, as well as in-depth reflections on kinship, solidarity, and colonial afterlives. Her works fuse different narratives and legacies, forging links between the personal, the historical, and wider socio-political temporalities. Accordingly, this exhibition will point to trans-geographical connections and counter-histories that still need to find their place in our collective memories to uniting the past and future.
