BORDER THREADS ART EXHIBITION
REMAPPING: PATTERNS OF MOVEMENT TO CONNECT PERFORMANCE
BORDER THREADS Camilla Dahl
PERFORMANCE Marielle Kalldal Marthe Dahl
Border Threads is a collaborative art project about Borders, initiated by Camilla Dahl. The aim is to establish a platform where the participants can talk about their border experiences. Through a cross- border collaboration, we have made more than 300 textile pieces that are mounted together to a cover. Goods, money and information have freedom of movement. At the same time we see increasing restrictions on the movement of people, especially migrants and refugees. Many of the participants of this project live as refugees in other countries. The participants come from Norway, Lebanon, Turkey, Syria and Greece. By transforming the complexity of a transnational collaboration into something tactile and simple as a cover, we hope to contribute to a reflection on the connections between individual experiences with borders, dialogue, collaboration and international politics. The Border Threads cover will be exhibited in the foyer at Vega Scene during the festival week.Official opening with arttalk will be announced in the online festival program. (with Marielle Kalldal, Anja Naper, Daniel Jamal Elhomsi and Camilla Dahl).
What can a space offer a body? And what can a body offer a space? ReMapping: Patterns of Movement to Connect (PMTC) is an art project and part of an ongoing research working with investi gating body-in-contact as a phenomenon through physical mapping in urban environments. The mapping manifests itself through exploration of different layers in kinesthetics using scores as a mapping technique, focusing on choreography, haptic communication and movement as core elements. The aim of the project is thus to investigate how the body operates with our daily surroundings by (re) activating alternative interaction patterns. During the festival week the project will work with playful interventions in the foyer of the Vega Scene as part of a site-specific performance series. The performers will map the site and the people who inhabit it creating improvised choreographies as well as exploring the possibilities of what body-in-contact is or can be by challenging the everyday perception of the relationship between body and space.
