COPENHAGEN PRIDE PRESENTS:
PRIDE ART
A space for queer expression
For this year’s Copenhagen Pride we are excited to present the art exhibition Pride Art: A Space for
Queer Expression. The exhibition presents works by LGBTI+ artists and will function as a space for
learning through visual art. Throughout Copenhagen Pride Week there will be multiple events in
the exhibition space. Keep yourself updated with Copenhagen Prides official program and the
official Copenhagen Pride app.
Where: Nytorv, 1450, København
When: 15 August - 20 August kl. 10.00 - 20.00
WELCOME TO PRIDE WEEK 2022!
For the 26th time, we are ready to
welcome you to Copenhagen Pride
Week. We have been so excited to
reveal the program, where you can
find everything from human rights,
culture, children’s activities, a youth
day, parties, concerts, and of course
the big parade to round off the week
in style. A massive thank you goes out
to our incredible teams behind all
these events!
Last year, Copenhagen and Malmö
hosted the mega event Copenhagen
2021, which covered both WorldPride
and EuroGames. It was an intense
and amazing experience that we will
never forget - but it is very special
to us to go back to a format that we
know and love. Not without a few
expansions and innovations, though!
The theme for this year is FREEDOM. It
is something we have had plenty of
opportunity to think about in the past
few years. Freedom should be cele-
brated but never taken for granted.
And in the nine days where the rain-
bow flag will fly over Copenhagen,
we want the message to be clear:
Nobody is truly free until we all have
our freedom! And we are strongest
together.
Welcome to Copenhagen Pride
Week 2022!
