Intro

CAMP launches a new art gallery guide program in September 2017 for refugees and asylum seekers, who would like to become part of CAMP’s guide team and do guided tours in CAMP's exhibitions about migration.

CAMP offers guided tours of all its exhibitions conducted by duos of non-refugee interns from CAMP and refugee volunteers from Trampoline House to offer different perspectives to the visitors and open up a space for dialog and discussion.

The program offers 8-week long workshops in the spring and in the fall. The first workshop runs from September 15 – November 10, 2017. It will prepare refugee participants for their role as art guides in CAMP's upcoming exhibition in January 2018 and actively involve them in preparing a script for the guided tours. Additionally, it aims to encourage the participants to engage in discussions and debates about contemporary art and broader social and political issues to enable them to participate in public debate and make their voices heard.

To sign up for the workshop, stop by CAMP's office, email us at info@campcph.org, or send a text message to Jana (+45) 50 20 59 77 before September 11, 2017.

The CAMP interns behind the program:

Viktoria has studied Art History at University of Copenhagen. She is from Denmark and has been with CAMP since January 2017.

Jana studies Migration Studies at University of Copenhagen. She is from Germany and has been with CAMP since January 2017.
