We are honored to receive a grant of DKK 50,000 from the Danish Arts Foundation for CAMP’s two-year exhibition program, ‘State of Integration: Artistic analyses of the challenges of coexistence’. The Art Foundation writes:

"Over the past two years, the overall theme of CAMP's exhibitions has been 'The State of Integration: Artistic analyses of the challenges of coexistence', and through exhibitions curated by internationally acclaimed artists and curators such as Nicholas Mirzoeff, Temi Odumosu, Galit Eilat and Tania Bruguera, CAMP looks at major issues regarding coexistence, integration, identity, displacement and exile.”
