The project moves nomadically between several sites and communities across Denmark, including Fanefjord Fælled (Vestmøn), Lystbækgaard (Lystbæk), Svartlöga/OXER (Grenaa Harbor), Hjortetakly (Viemose), and Skovhavelunden (Kbh N).

From these places, Hosting Lands also builds bridges to and between international self-organized initiatives and collectives such as The Harvest School (Nadaon, India), Tatsuniya Art Collective (Maiduguri, Nigeria), Escuela de Oficios (Puerto Rico), Rice Brewing Sisters Club (Seoul, Korea), The Summerhouse (Stavnäs, Sweden) and Kultivator (Öland, Sweden). Through these connections, it weaves a network of shared practices, solidarity, and resistance across geographies and struggles.

Hosting Lands is mainly supported by the Bikubenfonden Exhibition Vision Award (2022).

Aziza Harmel is a curator based in Tunis. Harmel works with nomadic exhibition productions, and questions around inhabiting the ruin and restoration, reclaiming the public space and decolonization of exhibition formats.


Laboratory for Aesthetics and Ecology is a self-organized curatorial platform for experimental exhibition makings and publishing practices situated in Denmark. LAE was founded in 2014 by Dea Antonsen and Ida Bencke in an urge of cultivating spaces for soft resistance in the intersection between ecologies of care, planetary survival and social justice.

We are also in gratitude of Laura Gerdes-Miranda and Thea Møller Jensen for their curatorial insight and help to the project. We would also like to acknowledge Michal Jurgielewicz for his design and graphic wizadry, and Mikolaj Antonik for his technical, web, and coding related support to the project.
