UNDERGROWTH FESTIVAL PRESENTS: RIKKE BOGETOFT 💛

Rikke Bogetoft is a q***rfeminist conceptual artist based in Aalborg. Her practice centers around intersectional feminist activism, interdisciplinary performance art & interventionist practice.

Rikke utilizes conceptual, interventionist & transdisciplinary practices to tackle political & socio-economic issues regarding the relationship between body and power. The borders between backstage & frontstage intertwine & overlap, questioning the binary understanding of performance vs reality - Rikke exploits these moments of not-not-reality to examine the understanding of self within interpersonal contexts, largely inspired by their own journey as a q***r neurodiverse femme.

Rikke is our resident moderator and organizer behind The Undergrowth - this time she’s kickstarting the festival alongside co-organizer Paula Uspenski with an opening performance, toying with their own version of a welcome speech.

UNDERGROWTH FESTIVAL PRESENTS: E-JAM 💛

E-jam is a subdivision of NEMA, focusing on artistic expression through music, creating a safe space for people with all levels of experience with composition of electronic music to pursue creative discourses within different creative frames given for each session. The jams are organized in a rhizomatic manner, with each day session being a challenge and topic in itself. The red thread of the jams is the act of creating spontaneous moments for the sake of experimenting with electronic music. The jams are open to anyone willing to bring their curiosity and to experiment.

E-jam is an electronic jam collective, composed of electronic music producers from Northern Jutland. We are delighted to be hosting E-jam’s first public performance and hope you will give a warm welcome to this up and coming collaboration.

Experience E-jam at 16:30 on the 02/07 during UNDERGROWTH FESTIVAL 💛

25/06/2022

No festival posts today. Today we grieve the victims affected by the despicable shooting that occurred in Oslo last night. The gay bar “London” was targeted as Norway celebrated their 50 year mark for decriminalization of homosexuality.

Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to the victims and their families and friends affected by this tragedy.

HAPPY PRIDE! 🌸🌼

We are now 1 week away from UNDERGROWTH FESTIVAL, and we’d like to take the time to reminisce on our recent Pride-Warm-Up-Event with local dj’s Monapink & Paula

Pride month is a time to celebrate love, to remember the people who have fought for the q***r cause and to keep the fight going. Since the beginning of the pandemic many lgbtq+ individuals have experienced a rise in discrimination from institutions and hate groups all over the world, and in Denmark we’ve seen the rise of support for Dansk Regnbueråd, an association in opposition of LGBT+ Danmark with a manifesto against “wokeness” and genderactivism. We at The Undergrowth do not support the values, ideology or actions of Dansk Regnbueråd. We are honoured to be working with many q***r artists, musicians & cultural workers all year round, and we stand beside them in the fight for equality. We strive to support our q***r communities through art & dialogue, and hope you will join us in celebrating the q***r undergrowth of Aalborg.

Our next q***r panel talk will premiere during the summer. In the meantime, join us at UNDERGROWTH FESTIVAL on the 01. - 02. of July and meet the artistic undergrowth shaping the cultural scene of Aalborg

UNDERGROWTH FESTIVAL PRESENTS: RASPEL 💛

Rasmus Raspel (EST/DK) - an Estonian guy living deep undercover in Denmark with a Danish name - has turned k***s and bobbed heads for 6 years. He plays variations of house and other electronic music characterized by bouncy, uplifting energy that includes melodic basslines and a fair amount of vocals. His inspiration comes from techno, house, tech house, bass house, UK garage, UK rap and hip-hop, funk and soul, and even rock and metal music. Being the melomaniac that he is, it's difficult to confine him to just one specific genre, as he is constantly searching for new musical adventures. His philosophy around DJing is, first and foremost, to play for himself and have fun and, in the process, to project that fun to the audience through dance.

Rasmus has played all over Denmark, and previously DJ'ed at the very first Undergrowth event. We are excited to host him again, this time with collaborator and fellow DJ Papa Guincho - Rasmus and Guincho are: the Baltic Boyz

Experience the Baltic Boyz at 22:00 on the 01/06/22 during UNDERGROWTH FESTIVAL 💛

UNDERGROWTH FESTIVAL PRESENTS: IZEMZ BAND 💛

IZEMZ BAND is a fusion of traditional Afro-Brazilian ritualistic practice and electronic dance music - a way of bridging the past and the future - where the primal meets the modern and they dance together - for a better sense of presence and togetherness: a ritual - designed for empathic relationship and pleasure.

IZEMZ BAND are Jens Bugay-Hougaard (DK/UK) and Sandro Masai (BR/DK)

This is the first time The Undergrowth is hosting IZEMZ BAND - their ritual concert experience manifests a new space for presence and togetherness, and blends audio and visual aesthetics. IZEMZ BAND are rightfully closing the festival programme, ensuring a grand finale.

Experience IZEMZ BAND at 20:00 on the 02/06/22 during UNDERGROWTH FESTIVAL 💛

Siyana Raykovska is a Bulgarian textile, installation and performance artist. Her artistic work is conceptual and often focused on investigating social issues through an art-based research methodology.

Siyana has been involved with the art scene in Aalborg for many years, both as an artist, curator and project organizer - while studying Art & Technology at Aalborg University she curated contemporary art exhibitions for Aalborg Surreal & Art Room 1000fryd, and expanded her practice in international contexts.

UNDERGROWTH FESTIVAL PRESENTS: JESPER THIEMER 💛

Jesper Thiemer is an installation artist working with technology as an aesthetic. He is currently focusing on installations that investigate spatiality and converse with its surroundings, looking to remediate the unknown into another media space in order to reposition it in new ways, opening up to new perception.

Data and technology are everywhere and can be put into any context. The messages and politics of technology are what generate the most curiosity unto what is possible in the boundaries between art, philosophy and technology. The span of interaction between human and technology is vast and will be explored through different technologies utilizing technical subjects such as programming, sound, light and motors, altering people’s perception of technology as well as letting the technology learn the languages of humans and nature. Jesper previously performed at The Undergrowth in collaboration with Matias Gaarde, and we are delighted to see him return to exhibit his solo-work.

UNDERGROWTH FESTIVAL PRESENTS: CHRISTIAN LOVING 💛

Christian Loving is an experienced musician, but new to the electronic music scene. He is a former bassist and drummer, and has since 2020 found his way into making music with synthesizers, drum machines, ableton and other fun sound gadgets. He is currently experimenting with a laptop-free setup, where the sonic starting point is improvised monotonous music with some beat to it.

Improvisation is a big part of the way Christian wants to share and express a sound space with others. There is no precise musical plan, other than some kick drum (125 bpmish) and something around that. The current setup is a hybrid of sounds recorded in the studio and a little Roland SH-01A synthesizer. All techniques and sounds are controlled by an Akai Force and Allen Heath K2 midi controllers. Christian is excited to experience how this new setup will work and how the merging of these sounds are going to unfold - he previously performed at the very first Undergrowth event, and we can’t wait to experience his sound entirely anew.

Experience Christian at 19:00 on the 01/06/22 during UNDERGROWTH FESTIVAL 💛
