Intro
On June 4, 2018, CAMP is enrolling eight new refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers in its art gallery guide education program, Talking about art. The program educates participants to become part of CAMP’s guide team and do guided tours in the center's exhibitions.
The program offers a 3 week long introduction course from June 4 – 22 for all new participants and a 4 week long advanced course from Aug. 13 – Sept. 7. It will prepare the participants for their role as art guides in CAMP's upcoming exhibition Decolonizing Appearance guest curated by Nicholas Mirzoeff, which opens September 21, 2018, and actively involve them in preparing a guide script.
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.
CAMP offers guided tours of all its exhibitions conducted by a graduate from the gallery guide education program and a CAMP education intern in order to offer different perspectives to the visitors and open up a space for dialog and discussion.
To sign up for the workshop, stop by CAMP's office, email us at info@campcph.org, or send a text message to Nanna (+45) 26 20 59 62 before June 1, 2018.
