GRASP 2025 Is Taking Shape

28.04.2025News

Step into a programme shaped by bold ideas, shared curiosity, and a strong sense of community

GRASP Festival returns on September 25–26 2025 – and we’re now unveiling the first six programme highlights. Here, you can dive into future utopias, climate justice, the role of the senses in our world, and sustainable architecture rooted in both materials and diversity. And we’re opening up to new ways of imagining futures – together.

Get ready for two full days of inspiration, ideas, talks, music, performances, art, and deep conversations.

Registration is just 100 DKK, since GRASP is created in collaboration with partners and is part of Roskilde Festival Group’s non-profit work.

Sign up now and learn more about the first programme highlights here.

Different Worlds

Meet renowned anthropologist Marisol de la Cadena, who, in a keynote lecture, explores how we navigate planetary challenges across different realities and unequal lived experiences – and how we can create justice in global climate action.

Synthesizing Utopias

Experience visual artist Esben Holk as he takes you on a virtual journey to create utopias in a video game-like digital sculpture. Explore new visions of the future in a work that fuses art and technology.

Where Materials Become the Architecture Itself

Meet the architects behind the radical transformation of Hal 9 at Musicon, Jespersen Nøtvedt, and hear how they create sustainable architecture that challenges conventional ideas of form and style.

Focus on the Senses

Join us for the premiere of an artistic documentary film examining the importance of the senses to our being in the world. Witness an interdisciplinary exploration of sensory perception in both humans and nature – and take part in a conversation with the artists and scientists behind the project following the screening.

Architecture for All

Experience a thought-provoking lecture on universal design and inclusive architecture. Gain insight into how future buildings and urban spaces can embrace human diversity – without compromising on aesthetics and quality.

Shaping the Future Together

Join an interactive journey into possible futures, where imagination runs free. Rooted in UNESCO's Futures Literacy, we’ll explore how we can democratize the way we imagine the future – and co-create new, shared visions of what lies ahead.
