CAFx at CPH:DOX: Form Follows Community - The Silo and Us
Join us for a warm and subtle documentary on an abandoned grain silo in Stubbekøbing + a conversation with Danh Vo and Oliver Stilling about how art, architecture, and culture can be more than aesthetics - and perhaps become the spark for something new.
In collaboration with CPH: DOX we invite you to an evening where architecture, art, and community intersect around a shared question: how do spaces transform — and come to life again? Focusing on form, function and feeling, we explore what happens when buildings are seen not just as structures, but as living frameworks for relationships, identity, and new narratives.
After the film, The Silo and Us, we invite you to a conversation with artist Danh Vo (Project 4850), and journalist Oliver Stilling. From their respective perspectives on space, materials, and cultural processes, they will explore how artistic interventions can activate architecture — and how emotion, memory, and human use play a decisive role in how we experience and repurpose our built environment. The conversation will be moderated by the director Carina Randløv.
NB: Movie will be in Danish. Conversation will be in English
About The Silo and Us
The film ‘The Silo and Us’ reflects on spaces that once had a clear purpose but now exist in flux. Can art and culture breathe new life into them? Can creative practices act as catalysts for community, local identity, and belonging?
At the harbor in the small town of Stubbekøbing stands an abandoned grain silo that has divided the town in two for years. Carina Randløv has made a warm and subtle documentary about unity, change, and the courage to see something new in the old.
