Author Ursula Andkjær Olsen will read from an as yet unpublished work entitled The Transformation Manual, created in collaboration with visual artist Sophia Kalkau. This work explores different levels of experience - from the intimate and everyday to the societal, global and cosmological.

Live Art Zine, Hverdagen. Foto: Lars Vind-Andersen.
It sounds… boring, but it's actually an interactive performance lecture for the whole family (ages 5 and up). In 44 minutes you will be taken through 22 historical works by feminist artists, discussing the difference between art and real work, and who does what at home.
Inspired by artists from Kirsten Justesen to Martha Rosler, the audience is actively involved in mopping floors, brushing teeth and many other boring daily routines.

Flower Drop is a performance by Molly Haslund that takes place along MOVIA's line 2A in Copenhagen. Wearing a formal suit, Molly Haslund moves around the bus lines and bus stops carrying a large bouquet of sunflowers, peonies and roses.
The colourful flowers attract the attention of the surrounding passengers, pedestrians and cyclists. Occasionally, she drops a single flower that she doesn't immediately notice as she continues on her way through the city.

A group of beekeepers move like ghosts across Onkel Dannys Plads. In the exhibition Critters and Quiet Oddities with artists Sophia Ioannou Gjerding and Mark Tholander, you can experience the performance Onomatopoeia for a Hissing Kettle: Part One by Mark Tholander.
Through dance and song, the performance focuses on contemporary segregation culture and perhaps gives hope for a new future.
