The inside of a tent with purple and beige fabric, in which various colorful children's drawings and cards hang from the ceiling on cords. The motifs include rainbows, faces and text messages, including a sign that reads: “Religion can be anything else”. There are tables and chairs under the decorations and a garden with shrubs and trees outside the tent. The mood is creative and playful.

Young Voices - Debate, Influence and Change Through Art

Young people from the Association of Young People with Disabilities (SUMH) and Copenhagen Contemporary (CC) join forces to take the microphone for their voices.

In the “Young Voices” project, SUMH and CC will use art as a tool for young people to create a community, make changes, gain new skills and the opportunity to be seen and heard. Young people today feel left behind.

Through the arts, the project will give young people a community and a voice that does not have access to or feel invited into communities or decision-making spaces. Through joint art productions, they become part of the conversation and community about being young together - and thus, on an equal footing with others, contribute to society's development and decision-making processes.

The arts become partly a tool for young people to express themselves and at the same time act as a common third through which people from different backgrounds can gather - either to enjoy the art or to create it. The project will therefore also focus on the fact that art and cultural institutions should be accessible to everyone and no one should be left outside.

“Young Voices” will exhibit and perform their art installations for the following events:

- The People's Meeting 2022 and 2023

- Youth People's Meeting 2022 and 2023

- Copenhagen Contemporary 1-4 December 2022.
