Exhibitions, cinemas, bars and lots of events – Kunsthal Charlottenborg is once again CPH:DOX’s festival center!

Once again, Kunsthal Charlottenborg is CPH:DOX’s festival center for both the audience and the many filmmakers from all over the world who come to Copenhagen under CPH:DOX. Our festival center is decorated and designed by architects Sarah Fredelund and Mikkel Møller Roesdahl (from TERROIR). Furniture is supplied by our furniture partner, Noah Living.

You can also eat and drink at Kunsthal Charlottenborg’s fantastic Apollo Bar, which is open every day during the festival from 09:00. You can also visit CPH:DOX’s very own bar – DOX:BAR – which is open every day from the first to the last event.

Banu Cennetoğlu exhibition – Being Safe is Scary
Istanbul-based visual artist Banu Cennetoğlu is concerned with how the production and distribution of text and image-based information shapes our world. Through a sequence of works that intertwine personal and collective stories in a shared political space, the exhibition moves from societal issues to the more intimate sphere.

Critical examinations of the daily press, European migration flows and the UN Convention on Human Rights are brought into dialog with an extensive private image archive, connecting everyday life’s small and large events with pressing global issues.

“We are excited to present a solo exhibition with Banu Cennetoğlu, who is concerned with how the production and distribution of information shapes our world. In the exhibition at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, she will make connections between everyday life and pressing global issues by putting her extensive private image archive in dialog with critical studies of, among other things, the daily press and the UN Declaration of Human Rights,” says Henriette Bretton-Meyer, curator and acting director at Kunsthal Charlottenborg.

The exhibition entitled ‘Being Safe is Scary’ runs from March 19 to August 10. The opening will take place on March 20 at 16:00. Read more about the exhibition HERE.

Alongside Banu Cennetoğlu, Kunsthal Charlottenborg will also present the exhibition ‘Disobedience Archive’, which was last shown at the Venice Biennale in 2024. Here, the audience can see video works that address human rights and the relationship between artistic practice and political action.

Both exhibitions can be seen for free at Kunsthal Charlottenborg from March 19-30.

INTER:ACTIVE exhibition
CPH:DOX’s INTER:ACTIVE exhibition – this year curated around the theme ‘Untamed: Humanity Rewilded’ by CPH:LAB’s Head of Studies, Mark Atkins – runs from March 19 to 30 at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. The exhibition is a provocative and immersive experience that encourages the audience to re-imagine humanity’s role in the natural world.

The exhibition brings together an eclectic mix of media that showcases the breadth of creative exploration in contemporary art. From immersive virtual reality journeys and AI-powered installations to interactive video games and participatory experiences, the works challenge viewers to engage with art in dynamic and tactile ways. Traditional media such as animated graphic novels, shared readings and sound installations are reimagined with technological and sensory innovation.

The exhibition also includes multi-sensory performances, malware art and augmented reality, creating a space where diverse storytelling can unfold and blur the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds. Together, these different forms invite the audience to rethink humanity’s relationship with nature, technology and each other in a shared space of innovation.

The exhibition is open to all accredited guests and the general public by booking a seat and showing a valid ticket. The ticket gives access to the entire exhibition space for 1 hour and 30 minutes and you are guaranteed to experience at least 3 interactive works.
