On May 14th we, Art at Sjaelsmark, completed the social art project ‘CERAMIC RELIEFS/ IMPRINTS IN CLAY’ (2020-22). In the morning we had a workshop as part of our current social art project ‘Plates for Rights/Ceramics for Tea and Dialogue’. And afterwards we celebrated that the series of 13 ceramic reliefs are now on permanent display on the walls of Avnstrup. 


CERAMIC RELIEFS/ IMPRINTS IN CLAY is a social art project at the asylum ‘Departure centers’ Sjælsmark and Avnstrup. Residents at Sjælsmark and Avnstrup participated in collective clay workshops and created a series of unique ceramic reliefs. The reliefs were exhibited at Hørsholm Library as a temporary decoration, and they now form a permanent decoration on the wall of Avnstrup. The ceramic reliefs are made by more than 50 participants, not all of whom have listed their names.Participants include:
SAHEL, AYA, MIRON, ILYA, FALHADO, FAWAAZ, SIRWAN, AMIN, HOWAIDA, TAMARA, NEGIN, ERMIA, LILIT, HIMAYAK,NAREK, PAYMANE, RUQAYAHE, SAVANNEH, ATHENA, LIA, BARAN, YEMEN, DINO, NAVID, SHAHLA, DORSA, MASHHA, HAMAD, ALI, SHARMARKE, MOHAMMED, SAMINA, KEBE, BUBA, NIRJA, NIKHILAN, YAMEN, ALI, ATENA,SETAYESH, HIWAR, SAINAB and KARINA
CERAMIC RELIEFS/ IMPRINTS IN CLAY is supported by Augustinus Fonden, BUPL Solidaritets-og Kulturfond, 15. Juni Fonden and Cerama.
The project is organised by Art at Sjælsmark with artists Tine Hecht-Pedersen, Hanne Ravn Hermansen, Tine Jakobsen and Karen Land Hansen, working together with the Red Cross.
