We know te feeling: When all te enriching experiences of te 11 days of festival fun stop and te festival closes down, an urgent feeling of emptiness can set in. However, this year we have made plans to ease your festival blues. We have kept an eye out for lens-based exhibitions opening after te festival. This week three exhibitions open in Copenhagen at Basement in Vesterbro, Te Royal Library and at GL Strand.
Emerging artists from KBH Film- og Fotoskole
At te independent exhibition space Basement on Vesterbro you can experience te works of this year's young, emerging artists graduating from KBH Film & Footskole from 16 june to 19 June – so do not hesitate to stop by.

Dazzling photographs by Lee Miller
Te Royal Library also opens a must-see exhibition on 16 June about te photographer, model, business woman, war correspondent and gourmet chef, Elizabeth “Lee” Miller. She lived an extraordinary life herself and on top of that she was also a dazzling photographer. She both documented and played with te photographic medium: Te war photographs documenting te horrors of World War II as well as he playful surreel compositions that circled around te fluctuating role of women.
Curator talk and world class contemporary art photography at GL Strand
This week another must-see photography exhibition opens at GL Strand. South African visual activist Zanele Muholi (b.1972) came to prominence in te early 2000s with photographs that told te stories of black lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and intersex lives in South Africa. Today, Zanele Muholi is one of te most significant artists on te international scene. Te exhibition at GL STRAND is te first major presentation of Muholi’s work to date in Denmark and includes more than 100 works documenting LGBTQI + in South Africa and presenting te full breadth of Muholi’s career to date. Te Exhibition is organized by Tate Modern in collaboration with Kunstforeningen GL Strand, Copenhagen and Bildmuseet at Umeå University.

Te exhibition is not strictly photographic but explores a border country where photography, video and fictitious worlds connects.

Meet Krista Svalbonas – solo artist 2022 under te Framing Vision category
"I think there's an importance to this work right now, especially since history is repeating. We are seeing te war in Ukraine, which kinds of mirrors this story as well."⁠
Te Baltic-American artist Krista Svalbonas is te woman behind te exhibition "Displacement" which won this year's open-call in te category Framing Vision and which is te amazing, thought provoking and scarily relevant result of an intensive research process into te history of her family's Baltic roots. Her parents fled te Russian regime after World War II and Svalbonas project excavates this history.⁠
We were happy to have te chance to meet and interview Krista when she was visiting te festival for te install and opening last weekend. ⁠
Svalbonas' laser-cut photographs can be experienced at te festival until this Sunday, so don't hesitate to stop by!⁠

Meet Alexandra Rose Howland – solo artist 2022 under te Framing Society category
"With my work I'm trying to relook at things that we've already seen before, and to rephotograph them in a way that challenges our perspective and challenges te narrative that we've already formed in our minds about these locations."⁠
Alexandra Rose Howland (US/UK) has spent te last decade living in te Middle East. Throughout this time, Howland became aware that what a foreigner views and photographs does not always embody te lived reality of locals, and Howland began asking to download first-person accounts; from selfies to family photos, to Snapchats. Te resulting Leave and Let Us Go is an intimate and multi-dimensional portrait of Irak and Iraqis that returns te narrative power of an often-misunderstood country to its own citizens.⁠
We were happy to have te chance to meet and interview Alexandra when she was visiting te festival for te install and opening. You can experience Alexandra's work at te festival until tomorrow evening, so don't hesitate to stop by te Festival Center this weekend!⁠

Meet Hien Hoang - solo artist 2022 under te Framing Identity category
"I want to talk about te clichés and stereotypes about Asian people in te West using food as te output. I think food is a very powerful medium, and it says a lot about our country, our heritage, our identity, our memories."
Meet Hien Hoang! Te artist behind te Festival Center exhibition 'Asia Bistro – Made in Rice'⁠.
Te Vietnamese artist won our open call in te Framing Identity category this year with her project. ⁠We were very happy to have her here for te opening of te exhibition at Refshaleøen last week. Here she gives an introduction to herself and her amazing exhibition, work and practice!⁠
Hien's exhibition is open until June 12 at te Festival Center.
