We invite you to a shared space —with tea, coffee & food— to reflect and question the politics of hosting and commoning with architect and scholar Sandi Hilal, Til Vægs & Hosting Lands.

In this space of collective thinking we wish to ask and think about alternative models for collective ownership and the power and politics of hosting. As Sandi Hilal has asked; how do we think through the ills of private property running through the belly of the welfare state? Who has the right to host, and what could radical hospitality look like? What are the promises and obligations of (our curatorial) practices of hospitality working from and within the resource hoarding, excluding/exclusive nation state of Denmark? What is the both tricky and promising potential of reversing guest—host relationships?

We hope to see you. The event runs as an open salon. You are welcome to pop in for one hour or spend the entire time with us. Kids are (of course) welcome. There will be tea, coffee and snacks in the afternoon, and a mostly vegetarian communal dinner in the evening.

Hosting Lands stands in solidarity with Palestine. These are very dark times as we witness a genocide unfolding in Gaza. The pain is not the same for all. We open this space to gather, raise voices, mourn together, share meals and build solidarities and forms of resistance wherever possible. We are against all forms of discrimination, and will act upon it if it happens.

The event is a Bikuben Vision Salon co-hosted by Til Vægs and Hosting Lands, organized in collaboration with Karina Lykkesborg & The Bikuben Foundation, the supporter of Hosting Lands with the Vision Award Prize (2022).
