New Life Copenhagen is an unconventional art festival and social experiment that takes place in thousands of Danish homes in December. The festival does not involve any actual exhibitions or physical works of art. Instead it invites its participants to open up their homes and rethink their way of life. Throughout the last six months, New Life Copenhagen has challenged the notion of Danish hospitality by asking families to provide free accommodation for climate guests whom they have never met. The climate guests are all foreigners who otherwise would not be able to attend COP15 because of lack of personal means or hotel overbooking. New Life Copenhagen has already enjoyed vast success. More than 3000 climate guests homes through New Life Copenhagen, and this meeting of cultures is the focal point of the festival. Before and during the climate conference, all participants, both climate guests and Danish hosts, will be offered the opportunity to participate in a series of events and happenings created by contributing artists, eg. Superflex (DK), Signa (A/DK) and Maria Olson (US).
