TALK & PERFORMANCE EVENT

Deportspora: When deportation becomes a way of life

Deportation is the forced removal of ‘unwanted foreigners’ from the territory of a state. The public is told very little about how deportations are actually carried out, what fate awaits deportees after their forced return, what it is like to live with the immanent threat of deportation, and what makes many people migrate again despite the prospect of being deported once more.

Join us in CAMP for an afternoon with talks and performances exploring these questions. Presentations by Shahram Khosravi (Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, Stockholm University) and Daniela Ortiz (artist, Peru/Spain). Performances by Ghazel (artist, Iran/France) and Kosal Khiev (poet, USA/Cambodia). The event is conducted in English and accompanies CAMP's current exhibition Deportation Regime: Artistic responses to state practices and lived experience of forced removal. Free admission and snacks.

CURRENT EXHIBITION #1

SMK: National Gallery of Denmark
 

Migration Politics: Three CAMP exhibitions at the SMK

Migration Politics: Three CAMP exhibitions at the SMK is a retrospective exhibition that recreates three former exhibitions created by and for CAMP: Camp Life; from the mountains to the valleys, from the deserts to the seas: journeys of historical uncertainty; and The Dividing Line. The 3-in-one exhibition focuses on displacement, border politics, and asylum seen through the works of artists and networks, most of which have refugee or migrant backgrounds. The exhibition is accompanied by a free exhibition catalog.

The SMK’s decision to invite CAMP to present their exhibitions within a national gallery setting rests on a wish to support CAMP’s ambition of using art to facilitate deeper insight into the lives and situations of displaced and migrating people, discussing them in relation to the overall factors that cause displacement and migration. By presenting the exhibitions at the SMK, the museum wishes to help them reach even wider audiences. The exhibition is supported by Images 2016 and curated by CAMP (Frederikke Hansen and Tone Olaf Nielsen).
