IMAGES Festival: Occupy Utopia

Over 40 world famous artists from Africa, Latin America, The Middle East and Asia will occupy Denmark with arts and performance at one of Scandinavia’s largest contemporary international arts and culture festivals, the IMAGES Festival. The passionate organisers believe that “arts and creativity create development and challenge our images of the developing world” and the festival, held in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Aalborg, will shine a light on the power of diversity to create a better future. Film directors, dancers, actors and photographers will explore the idea of utopia, and musicians will offer another form of diversity through music genres ranging from folk to hip-hop, and from classic to reggae.

There will be street artists from the world’s hippest art hotspots, a floating hotel-island made of recycling materials, photo exhibitions from Burma, Nepal and Bangladesh, and dozens of concerts, debates and workshops to inspire and incite passion in all.

Various locations; starts Sat, ends Sep 7; many events are free; www.en.imagesfestival.dk
