Refshaleøen’s new stargazing yurt ✨🌌
At the edge of Sønder Hoved, a new yurt has been created by visual artist Jane Ostermann-Petersen in collaboration with @refshaleoen, with support from @tibnor_group and @koebenhavnskommune’s Sharing Copenhagen fund (@sharingcph).
Rather than a closed tent, this yurt is an open glass-and-steel structure that invites nature inside. Here, sky, sea, light, and wind come together to create a space for reflection, celebration, and community.
On Friday, the @kvindesmedien from Christiania stopped by to install the yurt’s three doors. Now, with its central hearth and a view of the stars, the space is nearly ready to offer an atmosphere of peace and contemplation.
The yurt is ideal for dinners, weddings, memorial gatherings, meditations, and other special moments. We welcome collaborators, organizers, and event planners to make use of this new gathering place.

✨ Don’t miss the illuminating artworks during the @cphlightfest, with its final day on Sunday, February 23rd. 🌕
At @refshaleoen , we are excited to contribute the following:
Fluxit by @vendel_en_de_wolf: igniting a glowing fire of renewal, silver bamboo and LED tubes rise from the ground, pulsing with light. By day, it’s chaotic – by night, it transforms into a sea of flames. You can also spot it from Langelinger, on the other side of the harbor✨🔥
📍 By the Harbour ferry bus stop at Refshaleøen.
It’s All Going South by @kurkiewicz.h: an abstract video installation projected onto a former B&W shipyard building, which once housed office workers. It explores color, movement, and sound through abstract animation, creating a continuously evolving sensory experience.
📍 Refshalevej 153, 1432.
Connection by @bartensing: incapaule glowing threads weave between trees and the ground, forming a mesmerizing network. This installation invites viewers to slow down, uncover hidden connections, and see the trees in a new light.
📍 By Tolls Havs Kiosk, near the water, Refshalevej 151, 1432.
Green Beam VII by @bllbrnd: Inspired by Niels Bohr’s atomic model, this 9 km laser beam connects iconic landmarks across Copenhagen.
📍 B&W Halls, Refshalevej 177A, 1432.

Last weekend, @copenhagen_contemporary opened its doors to British artist Emma Talbot’s captivating solo exhibition, “Are You a Living Thing That Is Dying, or a Dying Thing That Is Living?”
The exhibition features a stunning array of works, including drawings, large-scale silk tapestries, three-dimensional objects, and animation. It explores powerful themes of rebirth, transformation, sustainability, and human resilience in the face of systemic ecological collapse.
The exhibition is on view now through August 31, 2025. For more details, visit @copenhagen_contemporary.

Help save one of B&W`s first ships from Refshaleøen📢
The first Georg Stage, built in 1882 as a training ship, is one of the only existing ships built in Burmeister & Wain`s early years at Refshaleøen and is a cornerstone of Danish maritime history. This graceful three-masted full-rigger later sailed the world under the name of Joseph Conrad, and now rests as a museum ship in Connecticut.
But its future is uncertain, as it`s now at risk of being scrapped. A dedicated group of maritime actives in Denmark is therefore working to bring this historic vessel back to Copenhagen, where it was built, to restore and preserve its former glory.
Find out more and join the cause at www.redskoleskib.dk.
