Historical city walk in English : Dark design vs. inclusive design in urban space, July 9th (Sunday) at 3 PM.

Over time, Copenhagen has been designed and arranged to include certain bodies - and thereby to exclude others. Who are these bodies and people (that were excluded)? How is this expressed in the city's history and spaces? And how has this view of who the city is made for changed over time? Part of the World Capital of Architecture programme.

Workshop: Porcelain Painting in the Archaeological Workshop

Would you like to decorate porcelain inspired by archaeological finds? We decorate recycled porcelain with marker paint, while looking at beautiful sherds of porcelain that are hundreds of years old. With real archaeological finds as inspiration, you will transform second-hand white cups, bowls and plates into brightly colored upcycled tableware with your very own personal patterns - ready to take home, where the paint is fixed in your oven.
