'Vikingeskibshallen' with a Panel on the Future of Conservation with Kristoffer Lindhardt Weiss and Dag Petersson
How do we distinguish between what’s worthy of preservation and what’s not? Join us for the screening and discussion and gain a deeper understanding of how and why we preserve for the future.
Waves crash against the building’s concrete shell. Water seeps in and pools on the floor in front of the centuries-old wooden ships. Architects call the building a brutalist masterpiece, politicians call it a cultural elite monument, and in 2018, the Minister of Culture delisted the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde. We ask: Which stories do we choose to immortalise in stone? How do we distinguish between what’s worthy of preservation and what’s not? And is it out of respect for history, or is there a deeper impulse at play when we protect heritage—a need to anchor our fleeting existence to something more lasting? Join the discussion and gain a deeper understanding of how and why we preserve for the future with Hans Christian Post’s new film Vikingeskibshallen.
Participate in the conversation about the future of delisting with Kristoffer Lindhardt Weiss from Arkitektens Forlag and architect Dag Petersson, author of Delisted — A Political Story. There will also be the opportunity to meet and ask questions to the film’s director, Hans Christian Post.
