Myrczik - Trampoline House: A space of becoming
Myrczik, E. (2023) Trampoline House: A space of becoming. INVENT Case Study.
This case highlights a community centre that operates at the intersection of artistic and social practice. Since 2009, the Trampoline House in Copenhagen has been working with and advocating for asylum seekers and refugees in Denmark and internationally. The project’s practice is spanning across many different spaces and actors. In the following case description, we will focus on three aspects concerning its main characteristics. Multi-platform; Artistic practice with a social impact; Participatory, emancipatory, democratic, inclusive. This study further explores the role of (public) funding and the lack thereof for a cultural centre that combines artistic and social practice. Trampoline House exemplifies an understanding of culture in the broadest and most inclusive sense: being together, cooking, creating art, negotiating a so-called “culture of democracy”, while at the same time contributing to established art exhibitions such as documenta fifteen.
