About›

CAMP / Center for Art on Migration Politics was a nonprofit exhibition space for art discussing questions of displacement, migration, immigration, and asylum. The center was operative from 2015–2020 and was located in Trampoline House, an independent community center in Copenhagen that provides refugees, asylum seekers, and ethnic minority Danes in Denmark with a place of support, community, and purpose. CAMP produced exhibitions, events, publications, and education programs about migration and the questions this phenomena gives rise to today. The center worked with renowned international artists as well as less established practitioners, most with refugee or migrant experience, and gained international recognition for breaking new ground in exhibiting and communicating art that makes the human and societal challenges posed by migration present and relatable. ›

For the past six months, CAMP founders Frederikke Hansen and Tone Olaf Nielsen have been working on CAMP status! Seven Years of Engaging Art on Migration Politics, a recollective book publication forthcoming on September 27, 2020. The book looks back at the center’s unique production of migration engaged exhibitions, events, publications, and education programs from 2013–2020 and reflects on its methodologies and conclusions. The publication will be CAMP's last activity before the center closes its exhibition activities in Trampoline House on October 1.

CAMPs grundlæggere Frederikke Hansen og Tone Olaf Nielsen har i løbet af de sidste seks måneder arbejdet på CAMP status! Syv års arbejde med migrationspolitisk kunst, en tilbageblikspublikation som udkommer den 27. september 2020. Bogen ser tilbage på centrets unikke produktion af migrationsengagerede udstillinger, events, publikationer og uddannelsesprogrammer fra 2013–2020 og reflekterer over dets metoder og konklusioner. Udgivelsen bliver CAMPs sidste aktivitet, før centret lukker sine udstillingsaktiviteter i Trampolinhuset per 1. oktober.
