DANISH ORIGINALS is a podcast series, in English, co-presented by American Friends of Statens Museum for Kunst and Statens Museum for Kunst, and features Danish creatives who have made a mark in the US.
They are outstanding thinkers and makers in visual art, music, film, television, stage, radio, podcasts, design, architecture, poetry, literature, dance, comedy, food and drink, fashion, green initiatives, social sustainability, and other fields.
These Danish creatives share their stories of their beginnings, their vision, their struggles and triumphs, their worldviews and ideals. They discuss how their connection to Denmark and to Danish culture has grounded, inspired, or even diverted them in their journeys.
And we ask them to share their connection with one work they choose from the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst. Their reflections enlighten, inspire, and engage us, and help us see, feel, and understand the world through their eyes, and the SMK collection, one work at a time.
