The title Up and Down refers to both geographic aspects - the Danes live up north and the South Africans live down south, and everyday aspects - the usual ups and downs of life. The works depict cultural and geographic differences and similarities, as well as a diversity of materials and techniques. Plus the challenges, joys and milestones we all experience in our private and professional lives.
 
Up and Down was conceived in February 2020 so the gestation period has been unusually long. I believe that the concept and message of this project is even more relevant now, because of the years of Corona that have affected us all, not to mention the current situation in Ukraine, which gives many of us an even greater desire to unite across the vast kilometres and celebrate unity, creativity and diversity.

The South African part of the project will be held at Tinsel Gallery, Johannesburg: 11 August to 1 September 2022.

Thank you to The Danish Arts Foundation and Nationalbankens Jubilæumsfond for their kind support.

17 March 2022, 16 - 19.
