2025-11-12 | Bernard Akoi-Jackson: in a group exhibition at rum46, in Aarhus, Denmark
Our fellow Bernard Akoi-Jackson is participating in a group exhibition Unraveling Horizons in the Meantime at at rum46 space, in Aarhus, Denmark.
Unraveling Horizons in the Meantime is a group exhibition by the Reparative Encounters network, a group of artists and curators who have worked together since 2023 by cultivating artistic collaboration across Kalaallit Nunaat, the US Virgin Islands, Ghana and Denmark, regions differently impacted by Danish colonialism.
Central to our work is the idea that colonialism separates and alienates, creating ruptures that remain to be repaired. By working side by side, we foreground artistic collaboration and solidarity between these regions as key to repairing colonial divides.
After events in Nuuk, Saint Croix and Kumasi, the exhibition shows for the first time in Denmark the artistic practices of the group, featuring video works, collage, installation, textile pieces and fabric sculptures.
Unraveling Horizons in the Meantime unfolds the resonances between the group's disparate artistic practices, pivoting around the visual and tactile horizons echoed in the artworks, and how in dialogue they reveal new horizons and perspectives on colonial legacies.
Artists: Julie Edel Hardenberg, La Vaughn Belle, Chalana Brown, Dorothy Amenuke, Bernard Akoi-Jackson, Katrine Dirckinck-Holmfeld, and curator Daniela Agostinho.
Opening: Friday, 14 November, 15h30 – 19h00
You can see the exhibition until 18 January, 2026
