Omkring Bålet (Around the Fireplace) is a three hour workshop tailored to adolescents taking part in a religious confirmation ritual in the Danish church – typically at around 13-14 years of age. The workshop takes place at the museum and outdoors in the graveyard, specifically the columbarium, where funerary urns containing the cremated remain of the dead are stored. The workshop is of a ritualistic character, much like their upcoming confirmation ritual. The themes are death, transience and legacy. The workshop starts inside the museum, with a dialogue-based tour of works touching on themes of death or transience. From here, the group moves on the the graveyard, where the tour focuses on different ways of commemoration and any other subjects that the participants want to discuss. There is time to sketch in the graveyard. Moving back to the museum, three bonfires are lit in the park and participants are asked to write down something that is important to them on a piece of paper. This is burned over the fire and the ashes deposited in a small bottle, which they can keep in their pocket. They are then given a piece of clay into which the press their finger to create a mold. They melt tin over the fire and pour this into the mold, creating a small relic of themselves to take home with them. The workshop is an intervention in the mind of a teenager, undergoing a ritual to mark the passage from from childhood to adulthood. Taking place both within the museum’s setting and outdoors provides an intensely saturated experience of the process of death and dying, transience and legacy and prepares them for the commitment that they make in becoming confirmed and entering the world of the adults.
