An Age of Our Own Making is an exhibition series in three “chapters” that took place in three Danish cities – in public space in Holbæk, at Roskilde Festival & The Museum of Contemporary Art in Roskilde and at Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen – from May 2016 to January 2017. The project is initiated and organized by The Municipality of Holbæk and is part of IMAGES 2016, an art programme that unfolded in art institutions and public spaces all over Denmark in 2016.
