Visit our festival center at Kunsthal Charlottenborg
Just like in the past years, Kunsthal Charlottenborg will once again constitute the heart of the festival. Here, you can drop by daily to visit cinemas, our VR exhibition INTER:ACTIVE, as well as the Thao Nguyen Phan exhibition Reincarnations of Shadows, which is the artist's first major solo exhibition in Scandinavia, running from March 13th to August 11th.
Welcome to CPH:DOX’s festival center at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. Every day during the festival, we open the doors at 10:00 AM to two festival cinemas, exhibitions, events, and parties. You can also eat and drink at Apollo Bar, which is open every day from 10:00 AM (except for Monday), and at Apollo Kantine, which is open daily from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Also, visit our own DOX:BAR, which is open every day from the first to the last event.
At Charlottenborg, you’ll find our very own cinema – SOCIAL:CINEMA. Because at festivals like CPH:DOX, it’s not always easy to get to, from, and around if you’re, for example, a wheelchair user, we’ve built a new, temporary cinema at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. It is inspired by the principles of universal design and aims to be more inclusive for guests with mobility impairments.
The cinema, designed by the studio Aspekt Office and supported by the Bevica Foundation’s grant fund, is called SOCIAL:CINEMA and focuses on the body, inclusivity, and sustainability. Scaffold constructions, specially designed furniture, and wheelchair-friendly tables and bars provide access to a more diverse and varied audience.
Poet and disability activist Caspar Eric, who opens SOCIAL:CINEMA on March 16th with a new and visual version of the manifesto ‘Sorry we’re here’, which is a collective outcry from a wide range of people with disabilities and their relatives.
During CPH:DOX, Kunsthal Charlottenborg also opens the Thao Nguyen Phan exhibition ‘Reincarnations of Shadows’. In this first solo exhibition on Scandinavian soil, Phan delves into pressing questions about her homeland’s history in relation to more contemporary issues of environment, colonialism, and historiography.
Moreover, we open the doors to a new edition of our INTER:ACTIVE Exhibition, which is based on the interplay between creativity and technology. Through various media such as games, interactive installations, video art, textiles, and AI, a number of artists explore changes in how we relate to our physical self and investigate how we break the boundaries of our imagined limitations. The INTER:ACTIVE Exhibition is curated by Mark Atkin.
