Inside the Box 2020
In the spring of 2020, six new episodes of the series Inside the Box will raise new exciting themes. This year the discussions will be moderated by Helen Arfvidsson (social anthropologist and curator at the Museum of World Culture), who together with researchers, writers, museum staff and artists will find out what is “inside the box”. Welcome!
Due to Covid-19 the public part of the series has had to be cancelled and the recordings of the podcast will be done in accordance with regulations during 2020. Most of the episodes have also had to be postponed until Autumn 2020
