Category: VAF Houlkær

What happens when conditions and circumstances push our will to fight for what’s right for our communities and our world to the breaking point? Mikkel Hørlycks photo series cover migration to Europe, long-running addiction, an orphanage for vulnerable children, the consequences of corona virus, eating disorder and soldiers from Denmark and our allied nations. The common denominator of Hørlyck’s photos is an exploration of the human will to survive, universal emotions connecting the stories of vastly different subjects.

Starting week 40, the exhibition will be shown at Viborg main library, where Mikkel Hørlyck will speak October 11 at 18:30 (more info at viborgbib.dk)

11.-29. september weekdays 08.00-16.00

At the tail end of the Summer of 2023, photography students from Media College Denmark invited citizens of Houlkær to drop by the school’s studio and have their picture taken – lit, composed, and edited as professional photos are. During the VAF events in Houlkær, large scale reproductions of the portraits are exhibited in the city, inviting visitors to reflect on the diversity of the local community as well as what we have in common.
