The Danish-based Jordanian-Palestinian artist Banaan Al-Nasser takes over the entire foyer at the Gloria stage with the installation In Memory of Home, reflecting on who has the right to a home and a voice.

With her work, Banaan Al-Nasser evokes nostalgia, memories, and feelings of home. At the same time, she questions whether it's only in utopia that it's possible to find equality between people.

Banaan Al-Nasser often works with everyday objects loaded with symbolic value and with a clear social, poetic, and political character across different borders, class divisions, and cultures. 'In Memory of Home' draws on memories from her own childhood home and upbringing, where satellite dishes became symbols of communication between the West and the Middle East.

Lara Schnitger is an internationally renowned Dutch-American artist who focuses on women's lack of equality and safety in a patriarchal culture. Lara Schnitger leaves a big mark on this year's festival, first with a parade through the camping area and later with an enormous interactive sequin wall at the festival grounds.

Discussion about women's rights between influential voices

Women's rights are also on the agenda when author and debater Emma Holten talks with women's rights researcher Hillary Margolis from Human Rights Watch, a conversation between two of today's most significant voices in the debate.

The conversation focuses on progress, challenges, and trends in subjects such as consent, reproductive rights, sexual violence, feminist economics, and labor rights. Listen in and be inspired to imagine what the future could look like and how we get there.

Wild fans, intrusive paparazzi, and sleazy managers invade the camping area for Ragnhild May's over-the-top glam-pop experience.

None of it is, of course, entirely real. And yet it is. Because Ragnhild May's hectic performance offers insight into today's music and media culture while imagining a musical revolution 500 years into the future. Along the way, spectacular aesthetics and tantalizing questions will present themselves.

A (literal!) battle between good and evil

The malevolent 'Heel' meets the protagonist 'Babyface' in a spectacular wrestling match on Dancefloor (formerly known as Destroy Me Once, Destroy Me Twice). You'll boo, cheer, jeer, and shout along, influencing the show where different performers step into the ring and imitate situations reflecting society and events at the festival.

Nordic Elite Wrestling is behind the show and is a volunteer-driven DIY organization based in Copenhagen, working to make professional wrestling more accessible to young, queer, and non-binary individuals as well as ethnic minorities. They also organize Scandinavia's largest Pro Wrestling event.

In Alberte Skronski's grotesque and surreal world, soil is something you eat, and food is something you play with. The Danish artist creates a grotesque and surreal world where you'll taste, chew, eat, and digest her artwork. Then her alter ego, 'The Gardener,' takes over the stage with a cake-sitting performance. What it's all about, you can experience in the Food Is Now experience room at this year's festival.
