For this year’s Art & Activism collaboration, three artist formerly associated with AHC, were selected to produce new works for Roskilde Festival 2025.
That resulted in three thought-provoking, spiritual and hopeful projects by Bartek Arobal Kociemba, Julie Nymann and Nicolai Risbjerg, who each shaped their projects to fit the festival format, working mainly with performance and installation.
At The Yard, Arobal created a sensory atmosphere and a “safer space” where art, activism and spirituality merge with architect Mikkel Nielsen and composer Stefan Weglowski. Here the audience were invited to participate in interactive performances and meditations that invite immersion and reflection.
With Nicolai Risbjerg’s work Action Man Collecting Sweethearts, he brought the otherwise hyper-masculine figure Action Man and his love army around Flokkr and the camp site to spread love and flirt with festivalgoers in a participatory, comic and flirtatous performance.
When the festival site opened, the audience could experience Julie Nymann’s installation ‘our voises carry futur dreams’ in Gloria’s foyer, which invites the audience to reflect on how our differences can strengthen the community rather than create divisions.
Nymann further activated her sound installation Advantages of Being Dyslexic in a choir performance at Platform, consisting of professional singers and students from VUC Roskilde, who have experience with dyslexia.
