About<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Curated by Milena H\u00f8gsberg and Filipa Ramos, the third edition of the Art & Words festival, titled The Forest Sings at Night, celebrates the night and darkness as vital resources for deepening sensory experiences. Darkness connects us to the body\u2019s inner rhythms, non-linear perceptions of time, and the ancient knowledge carried by the starry sky.<\/strong>

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience the forest in its autumn cloak and take part in a one-day festival that stimulates both the senses and the intellect. Listen to Swedish biologist and author of the New York Times bestseller The Darkness Manifesto, Johan Ekl\u00f6f, speak about the importance of darkness for bats and other animals that live in the dark \u2013 and what we humans can learn from them. Or immerse yourself in the artistic contributions: Tue Greenfort\u2019s creative workshop where you can explore moonlight, fluorescent cow bones, and more; Lea Porsager\u2019s s\u00e9ance in collaboration with Icelandic musician Hugr\u00fan Fj\u00f3la Hafsteinsd\u00f3ttir; Jana Winderen\u2019s sound performance; and Katja Aglert, who takes us on a performative forest walk embracing darkness through history, the present, and more-than-human perspectives. The festival concludes with a communal meal in the caf\u00e9 and a guided walk through the sculpture park after nightfall. For those traveling from Copenhagen or Malm\u00f6 there is a roundtrip bus that leaves 8.45 from CPH and 9.20 from Malm\u00f6, the bus returns in the evening at 5.30. Get your bus ticket when you book tickets to the festival.

The annual Wan\u00e5s Art & Words festival explores literature and ideas related to ecology and more-than-human worlds that presently inspire contemporary art practitioners. The festival is composed of both indoor and outdoor activities and intended as a day for all the senses. Stories that shape our relationship with the planet are shared through performances, readings, talks, workshops, and nature experiences. These propose a profound engagement with other species and nature, as well as with forms of situated knowledge, traditions, and each other. Art & Words premiered in 2023 with the title Mycocosm, focusing on fungi and mycelium networks, and continued in 2024 under the title Jellyfish & Deep Dreams, exploring intuitive connections to the sea and animal consciousness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
