In 2026, Copenhagen Contemporary celebrates its 10-year anniversary with CC10 – a three-day performance festival from 23–25 January that transforms the iconic halls on Refshaleøen into an open and vibrant space for artistic experiments, intense encounters, and socially engaged positions.CC10 is conceived as a tribute to art as a space for presence, resistance, and imagination. The festival invites audiences not only to observe but to participate, listen, respond, and be present in a program where international artists meet prominent voices from Copenhagen’s experimental art scene.
A central highlight is a special concert/performance by Nadya Tolokonnikova, founder of the Russian art and activist collective Pussy Riot. With an uncompromising blend of art, music, and political resistance, Tolokonnikova brings Pussy Riot’s signature energy to CC in a performance celebrating the institution’s 10-year anniversary. The work combines audio and visual elements developed in collaboration with her Berlin-based gallery, Nagel Draxler.
As one of the most prominent figures in Pussy Riot, Nadya Tolokonnikova has since 2011 helped shape the movement as a feminist, punk-based, and performative response to political oppression, censorship, and attacks on freedom of expression and minority rights. At CC10, she will also participate in a conversation with CC’s director, Marie Laurberg, on art, activism, and resistance in a time marked by political pressure and cultural struggles.
The festival program also includes performances by Monster Chetwynd, who unites wildness and butterfly poetry with 15 performers; Miriam Kongstad with the solo performance Hard Play; Silas Inoue, who activates his work in the exhibition Soft Robots; and Filip Vest with the already legendary Self Tape. The program is complemented by talks and lectures with Lea Korsgaard and Sara Alfort, as well as a Sunday concert by the emerging artist Fine.
A large part of CC10 is included in the general admission ticket, while selected talks, conversations, and concerts require a separate ticket.
