A Word for Human

Welcome to the halls of the Royal Danish Library where the echoes of knowledge long ring true. Hover alongside producer Christina Back as she curates an exhibition about the colonial gaze and Denmark’s history of slavery. Lie in silence experiencing the calm emanating from a chamber of treasures curated by Marina Abramović. Shadow producer Lise Bach Hansen backstage to the Queen’s Hall auditorium, reverberating with the booming words and images of Olafur Eliasson, Henrik Saxgren, and Kim Leine about the fate of the arctic. Peer over the shoulder of senior researcher Anders Toftgaard, buried in his readings, as he tries to understand the motivations of a book collector obsessed with Michel de Montaigne. As the seasons come and go beyond the prismatic walls of the Black Diamond in the heart of Copenhagen, listen to the emotions that stem directly from knowledge and literature in a safe space.
