Activities

Through exhibitions, debates, talks, symposiums, artist presentations, performances, slide shows and film screenings, the archive sheds light on the last 60 years’ immigration to Denmark. Simultaneously with this, it passes on knowledge of Danish immigrant societies and enhances the visual dialogue and social interaction between the original Danish population and the immigrant population.

In order to establish new networks and partnerships, the archive arranges exhibitions in educational institutions, cultural institutions, art institutions and museums. The archive also gives advice in relation to book publishing, video production, and printing of post cards and posters with images from the collection. The archive is open for cooperation with individuals and institutions that share the archive’s visions of enhancing the understanding between different societies in Denmark and the wider Scandinavia.
