Carrie’s Going Out is a varying series of events aiming to collaborate and work for a more sustainable future in the music industry and its surrounding community.

"Our purpose is to be the voice of youth and act as a contrast to an overly fast, hard, sharp and capitalist music and culture industry. We want to create a cross-aesthetic platform for emerging artists and culture creators, working from a manifesto focused on mental wellbeing, anti-discrimination and community. We have a responsibility for each other, our society and the earth we live on."

"We aim to create events that will start constructive conversations and inspire and encourage young people to take ownership of societal crises in a motivating and empowering way - that doesn't put an end to creativity and freedom of expression. We want to rethink and challenge the traditional structures and produce alternatives to current patterns of action and production that reproduce negative currents that harms one another and our climate. "

"With our events, we want to create an evolving platform that leaves its mark on the culture and society around us - but also inspires even more youth initiatives. We believe that art and culture is a crucial factor in societal change - and that we can influence it from the bottom up, when it is too slow to take responsibility from the top. And that one day we might not have to think of it as up and down, but simply equal."

The team running Carrie’s Going Out is made up of Astrid Hald, Andrea Sode Dam, Josephine Craig and Tilde Margrethe Overbeck Christensen.

Sammen om sorg  / Together in grief 

The holidays are often seen as a time of joy, family, and celebration, but for many, it can also feel overwhelming, empty, or lonely when someone you love is missing. Together in Grief embraces this side of the season, reminding us that we are not alone and that grief is an expression of deep love, even though it hurts.

This evening is for anyone who has experienced loss or finds it difficult to support someone in grief. You don't need to have been directly affected to join—everyone is welcome. Let’s practice opening up about this universal, yet often unspoken, experience.

Last year, we created a heartfelt and caring space that touched many, and we’re honored to host it again.
The evening consists of 

• Live conversation with Sara Røtzler Lind and Jeppe Wad Vester, hosts of the former podcast Jeg Plejede At Tro På For Evigt. They will lead a dialogue on loss, grief, and the rituals that help us remember.
• Music by UngKlang, a vocal ensemble of nine women whose classical training and lifelong friendships shape their unique performances.
• Organized with the young volunteers of uKirke, a creative and inclusive community for 16–30-year-olds.

18:30 - Doors open
19:15 - Welcome & communal singing
19:30 - Jeg Plejede At Tro På For Evigt
21:30 - Performance by UngKlang (~30 min)
23:00 - Goodnight 

Thank you to the Tuborgfondet for supporting this event!

Sider om sorg / Pages on grief 

Dear all,

Last December, we held an event at Huset titled "Together in Grief". It was a beautiful evening where we gathered during a holiday season that can often feel like a lonely time, with the goal of creating something together – a glove to wrap around the heart, offering warmth during the winter season and winter grief. One participant suggested that we make a document, a few pages where we could all share recommendations for someone experiencing grief – a virtual care package, a first-aid kit for those with longing in their veins, and a space to feel seen and connected.

We now invite you to create your own zine, filled with your thoughts and words about a grief in your life – whether it’s anticipatory grief, heartbreak, or the sorrow of loss. Grief has many colors and facets, and there’s room for all of it. A zine you can hold in your hands and take home with you, or gift to someone you care about who might need it.
We hope it will provide comfort and reflection, warmth and love – all year round.

A zine (/ziːn/ ZEEN; short for magazine) is a self-published work, usually made using DIY techniques like cutting and pasting, and includes text and images.

PROGRAM
6:00 PM: Doors Open
6:30 - 8:00 PM: Writing Workshop with Sabitha Söderholm
♥ Break ♥
8:15 - 10:15 PM: Zine Workshop with Iskra Dinkova
10:30 PM: Goodnight and thank you for tonight <3

Location: Musikcaféen, Huset KBH

Akt7 x CGO - with a broken heart 

On April 30th, akt7 and Carrie’s Going Out invite you to an event in the name of the broken heart.

During the evening, akt7’s short film Karambolage will premiere. Additionally, there will be a reading by author Marie Strøyer and a performance by artist Agi/Astrid Haugesen. Later in the night, we’ll turn up the volume on the big ballads and offer a sweet surprise.

Join us as we cry, sing, reflect on, and discuss the impossible and painful love, and how the hell we figure out how to live with our broken hearts.

The film screening and reading will be in Danish, while the performance will be in English.
The event will be held at Xenon in Huset and costs 50 DKK. ❤

Thanks to Snabslanten and Overgrund for their support and assistance.

Sammen om sorg - i en juletid 

den 14. december afholder vi et arrangement med fokus på de mere oversete sider af juletiden.

en tid, der traditionelt set er kendetegnet ved at være fyldt med lys, familie og fællesskab, gaver og glade tider. men også en tid, der kan føles som ensom alenetid. som kan føles uoverskuelig, tom og trist, når man har mistet en man elsker, når man mangler én ved middagsbordet.

vi vil gerne belyse denne side af julen - og huske hinanden på, at man ikke er alene, og at sorg er stor kærlighed, selvom det gør ondt. at kærlighed også er de mennesker, der er omkring én, som støtter og trøster og giver. vi vil gerne finde fællesskab i en alenetid. og vi håber, at du vil være med.

arrangementet er i samarbejde med Jeg Plejede At Tro på For Evigt, der vil facilitere en samtale om netop sorg i juletiden. efterfølgende vil der være en fin intimkoncert med dygtige JJonas. i løbet af aftenen vil vi i fællesskab pynte et juletræ med minder og tanker.

vi håber, at vi sammen kan øve os i at turde tale om sorgen.

ER HÅBET LIVE? MUX x Carrie's Going Out | part 2 

The first event took place in May at Café Mellemfolk in Aarhus and consisted of two acts selected through an open call, along with a conversation about the challenges of the music scene's growth at the grassroots level, where we explored the value and legitimacy of smaller live music performances in the midst of various crises. We look forward to showing you what we discussed, so that we can continue the conversation together <3 This time around, we are at Huset CPH and focusing on the music and the new generation of talented artists! From the same open call, we have found three fantastic acts that we are excited for you to listen to, perhaps discover, but certainly experience.

ER HÅBET LIVE? MUX x Carrie's Going Out

This is the starting point for the question we will delve into when MUX, in collaboration with the Copenhagen based Carrie's Going Out, invite you to the first of two collaborative events on May 18th. Together we will focus on the challenges of the music growth scene in the live industry and explore the value and justification of the narrower live music when the crises are lining up. The event takes place at 19:00 at Café Mellemfolk in Aarhus, where we will present concerts with Orangeri and Anine Björk through an open call.

In addition to the concerts, we also offer a panel debate with participants who all have hearts that beat for cultural life. The panel consists of Anni Nguyen (Aarhus Volume), Camilla Aneto Olesen (Klub22, Det Turkise Telt), Jeppe Hofmeister Berg (Alter Festival, VoxHall) and David Mondrup (Music Council of Aarhus Municipality, performing musician and teacher at The Royal Academy of Music & Engelsholm Højskole). The debate will be moderated by Tilde Margrethe Overbeck Christensen from Carrie's Going Out.

CARRIE’S GOING OUT VOL. 1: SUSTAINABILITY IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY 

This event was focused on merchandise - a production general known to be harmful to the climate. Twelwe young and talented designers took upon the challenge to produce a sustainable alternative to classic merchandise, exemplifying how creating beautiful pieces doesn't have to compromise with creativity and the freedom of expression - in fact, proving just the opposite.

We also had a conversation discussion the sustainable future of the music industry. A conversation aiming to map out deficiencies and gaps, while brainstorming on finding solutions and alternatives for these. We’re talkes about how we can organize us and impact industries, communities and the society we live in to change structures that are harmful to our planet.
