Step into the transformative installation Rehearsals of Belonging 2.0 and be part of the sanctuary that fosters an atmosphere of belonging and mindfulness where reflection and engagement spark social change.

At this year’s Roskilde Festival, artist Bartek Arobal Kociemba—in collaboration with Mikkel Nielsen and Stefan Weglowski—creates an immersive pavilion that blends art and activism. Rehearsals of Belonging 2.0 provides a safer space where festivalgoers can relax, regain strength, engage with new ideas, and reflect on their place in a multicultural society.

With its stunning blend of wood, textiles, and bioplastics, the space is enveloped in immense soundscapes encouraging contemplation. The motifs printed on textiles symbolize movement and transformation, inspired by migration and queerness, inviting you to rethink how societies evolve.

From guided sessions of queer meditation and LGBT+ panel discussions to interactive performances, every experience within the pavilion invites to deeper connection. The culmination will be a dance procession of movement and light from the festival site towards The Yard and the pavilion in a shared ritual of diversity and belonging.

Bartek Arobal Kociemba is a Polish visual artist, spiritual teacher, and co-founder of the artist-run VLP Gallery.

Mikkel Nielsen has built a solid career as an architect and dedicated himself to exploring the boundaries between art, design, architecture, and sustainability.

Stefan Węgłowski is a composer, producer, and live performer. His works include mostly compositions for small ensembles and solo instruments.

Bartek Arobal Kociemba and Mikkel Nielsen live together in Copenhagen and Stefan Weglowski is based in Warsaw.

Rehearsals of Belonging 2.0 is presented at the festival in collaboration with Art Hub Copenhagen.
