“Listening & Walking”
Featuring Hannibal Andersen (DK) & Verdensrommet (NO)
S for Sound, S for Solidarity: Listening & Walking is a site-specific guided listening walk through Aalborg, where we collectively listen to a double feature of the two new episodes of S for Sound, S for Solidarity - episode 6 with Hannibal Andersen and episode 7 with Verdensrommet as they are premiering on Radio alHara.
With a starting point in Andersen’s public art project “Everything Must Go (Alt Skal Væk)” that took place in Aalborg in 2022, and following up on his ongoing practice incorporating critical gamification in New York, to creating experimental playground environments in Copenhagen, the sixth episode traces intriguing and lesser known trajectories across Andersen’s recent practice. A red thread running through the conversation with Andersen in Episode 6 is art’s role in rethinking ownership and property relations, especially in relation to affordable housing and reconsidering the economics and accessibility of the built environment across local and international contexts.
In the seventh episode members from the experimental, non-profit art organization Verdensrommet unpack their positions within the institution and network for non-EU immigrant artists and creatives in Norway. In connecting a conversation between the peripheral contexts of Trondheim, Norway and Aalborg, Denmark artists and art workers Sara Shooshtari (IR) and Tara Fraser (AU) discuss with Scott William Raby similarities, differences, and challenges they recognize as artists and immigrants located in Norway and Denmark. By doing so, they not only look to highlight and share challenges non-EU immigrant artists face in Scandinavia, but also seek to share transnational knowledge and find solidarity in the art field and more broadly.

Hannibal Andersen (DK) creates images, objects, and interventions that probe the tenets of economic dogma and its impact on society. Through themes such as money, debt, property relations, the commons, and the relentless advance of privatization, his work examines the invisible power of capital and the ideology that sustains it. Andersen’s work has appeared in a wide range of contexts, including Malmö Konsthall, P.A.D. Projects in New York, MAXXI in Rome, PET in Athens, and several institutions in Denmark — including Rønnebæksholm, Den Frie, f.eks., Vermilion Sands, and Kunsthal Charlottenborg, among others.
Verdensrommet (NO) is an artist-powered mutual support network by and for non-EU/EEA creative professionals based in Norway. The network is a grassroots and volunteer-led group of 200+ creative professionals across the country. The network was initiated in March, 2020 to address the precarious conditions of visual artists whose citizenship led them to slip through the state’s support net.

S for Sound, S for Solidarity: Listening Lounge is a double feature collective listening session of the two new episodes of S for Sound, S for Solidarity - episode 4 with Aalborg Artist’s Association (AAAA), and episode 5 with Artist Project Group (APG) as they are premiered on Radio Alhara.
Drawing from The Collective Voice, an experimental vocal workshop hosted by Aalborg Artist’s Association (AAAA) at Håndværkerhuset in October 2025, the fourth episode of S for Sound, S for Solidarity presents a remixed montage of voices by local artists and art workers from Aalborg, Denmark.
In the fifth episode of S for Sound, S for Solidarity the Vienna based Artist Project Group (APG) sonically unfold various social, economic, and political possibilities for artists to engage institutions differently via their experimental practice as an “artist consultancy agency”. Through interviews, discussion, testimonies, and sound bites from artists who have operated within their consultancy infrastructure, APG suggests “artists have the answers”. APG sets this broader narrative to a soundtrack of Aalborg’s local music scene as a contextual connection to their previous artist consultancy work in Northern Denmark. This includes their 2019 project Aalborg Anti-Artwashing Agreement (AAAA), which later helped motivate the establishment of the Aalborg Artists Association (AAAA).

“The Collective Voice”
Featuring Aalborg Artist’s Association (AAAA)
The Collective Voice is a site-specific sonic workshop and visual artist gathering featuring Aalborg Artist’s Association (AAAA).
The Collective Voice seeks to provide an experimental format for the collective expression of creative and critical voices in a welcoming environment. The gathering draws inspiration from speeches, songs, discussions, chants, people’s mics and other forms of sound utilized to express solidarity and unity across public protests, strikes, and other activistic and organizational contexts. The Collective Voice will provide a platform for understanding the local situation in Aalborg, in which artists often experience economic, social, and institutional challenges, as well as function to contextualize this in relation to wider artistic struggles and broader global frameworks.
The Collective Voice takes place at a time when artistic cultural policy in Northern Jutland is tenuous; funding is being cut, Kunsthal Nord has closed, Aalborg University is slated to remove entire cultural departments, and municipal studios are in jeopardy. This is in a climate where local artists stated they experienced exclusion, marginalization, and are lacking a seat at the table in many decisions that immediately affect their socio-economic and cultural positions. The Collective Voice seeks to provide a space for expression free from (self-)censorship, drawing on historical forms that share knowledge, create new awareness, and energize audiences.
