queer bonds (2025)
Workshop 
Kirsten Kjærs Museum
Graphic design: Julianne Concepcion

What does it mean to be connected to a place – be it a body or a landscape? Artist aasj and choreographer and voice coach Kai Merke invite queer people to a separatist workshop where we will explore relations between body and nature through engagements with plants and guided voice training. Join to explore new connections between your voice, body and the ecological world.

The event is open to all queer people. Participating does not require any specific experience or background. Friends and family are welcome to hang out in the museum café during the workshop. Dogs are allowed for outdoor activities.

aasj (alex/alexandra sofie jönsson), artist

aasj is an artist who works with theoretical and visual practices that explore how images and sound can co-create relations to the environment. They work with a queer- and eco-feminist perspective through video, sound and building projects. They focus on making work that acts as open-source conceptual and emotional everyday tools. They hold an MA from Goldsmiths College and an artistic ph.d. from Westminster School of Arts. Since 2011, they have worked and exhibited internationally, including at Art Center Nabi (KOR), Tate Modern (UK), and Kuntshal Nord (DK). They have been the recipient of awards and grants from the Danish Arts Foundation for several years.


Kai Merke, choreographer, dramaturg, and voice coach

His work aims to challenge the sense of disconnection from the natural world that often characterizes Western existence. He explores other ways of storytelling through dance and dramaturgy, striving to reconnect people with the world around them. In 2020, Kai co-founded Dance Cooperative in Copenhagen, an artist-run community that integrates performance, dramaturgy, curation, and teaching. His choreographic works include Havet i munden, based on a poetry collection by Luka Holmegaard, and Prøvedage, directed by Filip Vest. Currently, Kai is working on Ruinerne, a roleplay musical premiering at Deep Forest Art Land this September. Kai trained at the Inter-University Center for Dance Berlin (HZT) at Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) and holds a BA in Natural and Cultural Heritage Management from Forest and Landscape College. 


Rebekka Pi, therapist. In their work as a norm critical and queer affirmative therapist, Rebekka has a specific focus on the mental health and well-being of marginalised people. Rebekka’s therapeutic practice is inclusive, integrative and intersectional, and it’s specifically attentive to our basic need for connectedness and community. Rebekka holds an MA from the University of Aarhus, specialised in gender, culture and evolutionary psychology combined with a psychotherapeutic diploma degree. In addition to their therapeutic practice, they work as a counsellor for the AIDS foundation.


Elias is the curator of the project. Their work centers around gender nonconforming practices in 20th and 21st century art. They hold an MA in Art History from the University of Copenhagen as well as an MA in Contemporary Art Theory from Goldsmiths College, University of London.


lím collective is an artist-run exhibition platform based in Aalborg and with activities in all of Northern Jutland. The artistic programme supports artists working with socially engaged, critically and research based practices that involve health, inequality and care activism through interdisciplinary collaborations with local communities.


Kirsten Kjærs Museum is the only monographic museum in Denmark dedicated to a woman artist. The museum was founded in 1981 by the married couple John Anderson (London, UK) and Harald Fuglsang (Frøstrup, DK). Since its founding, KKM has grown both physically and content wise from a humble farmhouse to a unique architectural landmark in Thy, housing active artist studios and changing exhibitions with Danish and international contemporary art focusing on gender. The museum is supported by Region Nordjylland, Thisted municipality, and the Danish Arts Foundation.


The workshop is a collaboration between lim collective and Kirsten Kjærs Museum.
