WORKSHOP: What can the plants tell us?
In the group exhibition Seeds and Souls, the artists examine the connections between botanical histories, colonial legacies and diasporic experiences. Read more about the exhibition here: kunsthalcharlottenborg.dk/en/exhibitions/seeds-and-souls/

In the workshop, inspired by Ishita Chakraborty’s installation, children and adults get to create or recreate new plant species, listen to their stories and inquire what we can learn from them.

WORKSHOP: Who gets to write Art History?
The second workshop of the autumn holidays is inspired by the exhibition Full of Days on occasion of Kunsthal Charlottenborg’s 140th anniversary, which presents a range of all-new, specially commissioned works that respond directly to Charlottenborg’s history as an exhibition venue with no collection and no historical archive. Read more about the exhibition here: kunsthalcharlottenborg.dk/en/exhibitions/full-of-days/
In this mixed-media workshop, you get to rewrite Art History by acting as both curator and artist in your own exhibition. What would Art History look like if you wrote it?

In Full of Days you can also go on an art treasure hunt to look for details in different artworks varying from an old inverted column, an installation of shower cubicles, objects from Charlottenborg’s attic as well as transportable canvases and the building’s horoscope.
