Artist Talk about HOPE & FEAR<\/h2>\n

On Sunday November 10 at 15.00 hrs. Charlotte Haslund-Christensen<\/a> will give an artist talk in Danish Cultural Center in 798 International Arts District, Beijin, China.<\/p>\n

HOPE & FEAR<\/a><\/em> opened in Danish Cultural Center, Beijing, on Saturday November 3, 2018. Watch a teaser for the video installation here: https:\/\/vimeo.com\/189925512<\/a><\/p>\n

HOPE & FEAR<\/em> is a large-scale global video project by Danish artist Charlotte Haslund-Christensen featuring people from 6 continents. People on the streets – teachers, street hawkers, policemen, artists, priests, children, teenagers, parents and grandparents \u2013 all speak directly to the viewer. Each of them answers the same 2 questions:<\/p>\n

\u2018What is your biggest fear?\u2019 and \u2018What is your biggest hope?\u2019<\/p>\n

In the multiple screen installation their answers create a chorus of voices from South America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and North America. HOPE & FEAR is an appeal to global solidarity, community and mutual respect. Celebrating dialogue and participation, HOPE & FEAR is based on interviews on the streets of Beijing, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Copenhagen, Dar es Salaam, New York and Ulan Bator.<\/p>\n

Artist Statement<\/h2>\n

Charlotte Haslund-Christensen<\/a> says, my work is motivated by the drive to question cultural stereotypes and investigate the mechanisms of defining the self or nation in opposition to \u2018the Other\u2019. This includes challenging the role of the media in framing and creating prejudices and minorities. HOPE & FEAR<\/em> gives people the chance to have a voice. In HOPE & FEAR<\/em> they speak out. My biggest hope is that they also speak to each other.<\/p>\n
