In this program we talk about the effects when refugees and asyluum seekers are moved around endlessly between camps in Denmark.

The families living in Sjælsmark are suppose to move to center Avnstrup after the summer. This means all single people living in Avnstrup are now being moved to Sjælsmark. In this program we invited two of the people who have recently moved into Sjælsmark from center Avnstrup. One of our guests has been moving around 8 camps in the 3 years he has been applying for asylum in Denmark!

“It is a kind of way of playing games on the refugees. You start all over again and again and again.”

This speech was made during the demonstration by black lives matter Denmark in Copenhagen.

"Our Movement Is Loud" is an experimental radioplay in 4 channels, and was made as part of the "Choreographies Of The Social" Exhibition in Stockholm in 2019.

Our Movement Is Loud produced collectively by people with and without Danish citizenship. They are linked to each other through their experience of the asylum system in Denmark.

The audio installation consists of different perspectives, positions and voices that coincide in a story about the fight against expulsion. These interwoven stories take place in an imaginary scenario and are told by activists working inside and outside the asylum camps.

The stories in the radio play are based on real events that have taken place in asylum camps, airplanes and in larger protests that The Bridge Radio and its network has participated.

The process of creating the radio play started with a workshop in writing and drama for radio with writer Athena Farrokhzad, director Saga Gärde and sound designer Arash Pandi.
