Naturvandringen bød på både sanselige oplevelser og fælles refleksioner, hvor deltagerne blev inviteret til at sænke tempoet og være nærværende i mødet med naturen. Undervejs åbnede Sara sit værk Vitex Agnus Castus – et 6 x 3 meter langt gardin indfarvet med planter – som en levende ramme for at samle deltagernes tanker, sansninger og refleksioner om fertilitet midt i den sjette masseuddøen, der påvirker både mennesker, planter og dyrs reproduktion.

Gennem små refleksionsøvelser blev deltagerne inviteret til at gå i dialog med deres sidemakker og sætte ord på deres oplevelser. Spørgsmål som: “Hvis åen kunne tale – hvad ville den sige?” åbnede for nye perspektiver og gav plads til både eftertanke, undren og fælles samtaler 🌿

Tak for en inspirerende tur 💚

Tak til alle, der deltog i naturvandringen med billedkunstner Sara Hagins, naturvejleder Mikkel Rødvig og litteraturformidler Sara Boe Hansen 🌿

Første stop var ved Aalborg Jordemodercenter, hvor vi hørte om værket “Vitex agnus castus” – et 6 x 3 meter langt gardin indfarvet med planter, der historisk er blevet brugt til fertilitetsbehandling i Norden. Her satte kunstværket fokus på sammenhænge mellem krop, fertilitet og økologi.

Efter besøget inviterede Mikkel os til at mærke, lytte og sanse naturen – og til at lægge mærke til, hvordan vandets klukken kan være med til at sænke tempoet i nervesystemet.

Til sidst læste Sara op fra udvalgte værker, der kredser om fertilitet, økologi og klimakrise, og som satte ord på de forbindelser mellem menneske, natur og krop, vi havde oplevet undervejs.

This collaboration brings together visual artist Sandro Masai, who works with movement, energy, and the decolonial, and school teacher and coach Mette Toft Nielsen, who focuses on creating more more just and responsible learning spaces in Danish public schools. Together, they explore how to create affirmative encounters for reflection, conversation, making, and moving together.

Mette Toft Nielsen is a teacher, psychotherapy student, and consultant focusing on fair and inclusive learning environments free from racism and discrimination. She has extensive experience supporting children and families within the Danish school system, particularly when children experience racism or lack of well-being, and she offers guidance on how to build strong and responsible collaboration with schools.

Sandro Masai is a performance artist working with embodied knowledge through movement practices such as dance, capoeira, and butoh. His work explores themes of decolonisation, ancestral knowledge, and spirituality. He holds a Master’s degree in Design from Design School Kolding and a Bachelor’s degree in Art and Technology from Aalborg University.

What an incredible weekend in 📍Aalborg and 📍Ranum — workshopping with more than 70 parents who spent their Friday evening and Saturday afternoon exploring how to support each other and their children within the Danish school context, which is too often marked by anti-Muslim and anti-Black racism, and a lack of accountability.

Grounded in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which Denmark has committed to, the workshop created a space for parents to engage with children’s fundamental rights in the school setting. Through dialogues, sharing circle, movement and drawing — facilitated by Mette Toft Nielsen and Sandro Masai — the workshop explored different ways that communities and individual parents can amplify their voices when collaborating with teachers and school leadership.

The workshops were arranged with the support of community organisers Nadja, Seval, Cendel, Reasat, and Murshida and the wider parent community at Ranum refugee center , who worked hard to bring everyone together, and most importantly, arranged the lovely collective meal 🥘

A warm farewell from Thump Thump, the listening space created by aasj and Kai Merke.

Our heartfelt thanks to every visitor, participant, collaborator, volunteer, staff member, funder, and quiet helper who shaped this exhibition 🌳

Thump-Thump is a sound that is felt rather than heard — its frequency lies below the threshold of human hearing. Yet plant and human bodies alike in the Thy landscape are enveloped by these pulses, which resonate through an Ice Age–shaped terrain, now transformed by the country’s largest test centre for wind turbines. These vibrations are sensed differently by plants, humans, and other animals, depending on their sensory systems — and for some they may cause headaches, fatigue, and nausea.

Thump-Thump is both a listening space shared with plants and an instruction-based performance that invites you to connect with the landscape through vibration. The work is a collaboration between visual artist aasj and choreographer and voice trainer Kai Merke, developed from the workshop series Q***r Bonds (2025). The series, which centres trans people, creates a space for exploring the voice outside gender-normative and pathologising frameworks. Rather than shaping the voice through force, the work invites you to follow where the voice leads. For some, this may feel fragile, vulnerable, confusing, playful and/or uplifting.

The exhibition is a collaboration between lím collective and the Kirsten Kjær Museum, with text by Elias Ståhl, graphic design by Julianne Concepcion, documentation by Reasat Jyoti, textile design by Rikke Bogetoft, and sound design by Morten Poulsen. Supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, Augustinus Foundation, Thisted Municipality’s Culture Council, and Kulturkanten. Video by aasj.

Thank you to everyone that joined the workshop Colors in the Memory of Water!

Nearly 70% of both the Earth and the human body consists of water - yet little is understood about how water carries stories between bodies. Colors in the memory of water - explores the traditional Turkish art of Ebru — also known as paper marbling.

The workshop is a hands-on learning space - where participants will learn how to create traditional patterns such as gelgit (tide) and hatip designs on water and transfer them onto paper. The aim is to explore the rhythms that arise between colors, water, and movement, while also understanding the meditative and cultural aspects of this ancient art form.

Facilitators
This workshop is facilitated by community organisers Seval, a trained chemist and Cendel, an English teacher — who both have +10 years of experiences with education and cross-cultural organising. Through their shared interest in water and fluid memory, they collaborate to explore the art of Ebru - the processes of marble painting.

Colors in the memory of water is part of lím collective’s collaborative program with Asyl Vesthimmerland, aimed at curating and developing cultural initiatives in partnership with residents and creative residents. The programme explores organising creative and culturally specific programming migration contexts.

📷 Thank you Reasat Jyoti for documenting the day!

The precarity of artistic work — with constant deadlines, scarce resources, and public pressures — often shapes how colleagues relate and collaborate in the culture sector. To create space for reflection and care, on 22nd October we hosted trauma therapist and psycho-spiritual healer Lakshmih Moon Karlsen for a day of reflection, rest and creative exploration.

Through somatic practice, dancing, and conversation, participants explored the experience of visibility — discovering ways that work context can be expanded through trust - allowing for each person to be seen, see themselves, and show up in a fuller, more authentic way.

Being together in a different space provided a much-needed resting space for precarious culture and artworkers, allowing reflection, connection, and solidarity beyond the usual work environment.

Lakshmih Moon Karlsen is a Certified Compassionate Inquiry®️ Practitioner (Gabor Maté) and psycho-spiritual therapist with more than fifteen years’ experience in facilitating both 1:1 sessions and group workshops. She regards supporting people to reconnect with their body, wisdom, and intuition as sacred work. With a core strength in calming people’s nerves and helping them grow in confidence, Lakshmih is known for her gentle yet assertive approach in supporting clients to feel safe, free, and present in their bodies—creating powerful spaces for meeting and working through inner conflicts.

Mutual Moves is a series of workshops organised by lím collective, addressing the working conditions of art workers through care, peer support, and development of sustainable infrastructures. The programme is kindly supported by Den Jyske Kunstfond and Billedkunstnernes Forbund (BKF).
