Between 2008-2011 the project Circus Universe functioned as a creative platform for various questions, ideas and creative outputs. Through music, writing, illustration and performance, I discussed issues relating to entertainment, capitalism, travel and celebration. Each volume was celebrated with a collaborative release event being concerts, readings and exhibitions. The project was managed and created by Anna Ulrikke Andersen. The project received financial support from Trafo.no and Frifond.no
