Popis: The chapter addresses the politics of solidarity through the magnifying glass of everyday forms of activism in Copenhagen. It aims to make the acts of solidarity with migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers visible by analyzing the challenges facing activists acting “for and with” marginalized and subaltern groups. The theoretical approach explores how acts of citizenship, and politics of solidarity are employed, with emphasis on the intersections of migration, race/ethnicity and gender. Our analysis explores how Trampoline House exercises civic activism aimed at integrating cultural, artistic and political practices to create alternative spaces for learning to live together in diversity. The study identifies a gap between the restrictive anti-migration policies and an evolving civic activism. We suggest that everyday forms of activism, inspired by artistic experiences and creative processes, can prompt learning processes and spaces where newcomers and locals can experience new ways of engaging and living with one another.
