For the performance programme ‘Intimacy & Publicness’, Lina Hashim performed “The Caryatid”.

Intimacy & Publicness is a three-day public performative arts program unfolding in and around Blågårds Plads, Nørrebro, featuring artists Nikhil Vettukattil, Filip Vest, Marina Dubia, Jules Fischer, Lina Hashim, and Klara Lopez.

Curated by Joachim Aagaard Friis in collaboration with SixtyEight Art Institute, PASS – Center for Practice-based Art Studies at the University of Copenhagen, and Støberiet – Copenhagen Municipality, the program explores how intimate affects – typically reserved for private relationships – might be shared and collectively experienced in public through the medium of performance art.

Inspired by cultural theorist Lauren Berlant’s concept of intimate publics, the program investigates how performance can cultivate trust, emotional resonance, and social connection among strangers in shared urban space. What happens when intimacy becomes a collective, public experience?
