TEXT
We warmly invite you to the opening of the exhibition Piercing X at Asylcenter Holstebro. Piercing X is a collaboration between artists living inside and outside the Danish asylum system, created with the residents and staff of Asyl Vesthimmerland. Over a series of ongoing capoeira workshops, held by artist Sandro Masai in 2024, a group of residents explored how to pierce the uncertain and prolonged limbo of waiting for a decision from the Danish immigration service. Through capoeira, Sandro introduces movement into the asylum centre and a way of drawing on cultural heritage to build resilience and power within the hopelessness of the asylum process.
The exhibition features a textile installation co-created with designer Alberto Maro and a short film by Reasat Hasan and Murshida Zaman documenting the capoeira workshops. Piercing X is curated by Qwin Werle & Bella Normark, with graphic design by Atakan Kara and generously supported by Ranum and Holstebro Refugee Centers, The Danish Art Foundation, Trygfonden, Den Jyske Kunstfond, and Region Nord.
