About CAFx PROGRAM x 2018
This year’s festival features a variety of more than 200 public events on home, housing and belonging in the cities of Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense and Aalborg.

HOUSING HOMES delves into questions about home, housing and belonging: What is a home? What does it mean to be at home, to create a home, to feel at home? How do we respond to pertinent challenges such as climate change, migration, rising house prices, the pressures of urbanization, segregation, changing demographics, etc. in our ways of living and organizing ourselves?
