In this episode of Culture in a Time of Crises, Danish artist duo Sofie Hesselholdt and Vibeke Mejlvang talk to Dr. Shwetal A. Patel. Based in Copenhagen, the duo talk about their experiences in an artists’ residency supported by the Danish government and examine their plans for 2021 which include an exhibition in India and elsewhere. Despite many of their projects being postponed this year, they have been very active in their studio during this time of crisis.
“You need more support for culture, cultural life, the status of culture is quite important now, as we say, because I think the role of art and culture is so much more important right now because through art that we understand the world and digest what’s going on.”
