Welcome to RESONANS, where on OCTOBER of 2024, Nørrebro (Copenhagen) will transform into a dynamic hub for multimedia exploration at the intersection of art and environmental consciousness, a celebration of community: the local, the nordic, the international. This upcoming festival is not just an event; it aims to be a community-driven platform that encourages active participation in blending digital, interdisciplinary and traditional art forms to engage with pressing ecological themes and serves as a reason to bring us all closer together.
Our offerings
- Collaborative Creation: RESONANS will foster a space where artists and activists co-create. Bringing to life important conversations.
- Cultural Fusion: Our program hopes to reflect the Nordic cultural heritage infused with contemporary creative expressions internationally and highlighting our local talent. This fusion will offer a dynamic and varied experience to our audience.
- Global Interaction: Upholding our Nordic roots and diverse backgrounds, RESONANS will embrace global perspectives. All languages welcome.
Engaging Our Audience
RESONANS actively engages its audience through multiple channels, mainly Facebook, Instagram, this website, and the physical wor(l)d. We are partnering with local venues, cultural organizations, educational institutions and Nordic institutions to host this concept, utilizing digital platforms for continuous engagement, and implementing strategic marketing to showcase the unique interplay of everything RESONANS represents.
Join Us
RESONANS invites everyone – from artists, cultural organizations, and environmentalists to scientists and the curious public – to be part of this immersive multimedia experience. In October, it will be more than a festival; it will be a participatory journey. It is indeed the celebration of Red Door’s 15th anniversary, but if we all like what we’re doing, then why not do it again?
