The Group Exhibition Creative Responses \/ Vi\u00f0brag\u00f0<\/em> was held at SPECTA gallery in Copenhagen from May 16 to June 8, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


The exhibition revolved around creative responses to the climate crisis and reflected the interplay between the regional and the global in environmental art and activism. Inspiration was drawn from the anthology Creative Responses to Environmental Crises in Nordic Art and Literature<\/em> (2025). There, Nordic visionaries and artists shed light on the complex and important role of art, literature, and other creative activities when confronting a changing worldview. Works by the artists discussed in the book, and others who connect with its main themes: interconnectedness, complex systems, the value of diversity, and the deconstruction of hierarchies, are on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
