Cultural Preparedness in Uncertain Times

Art historian Kristian Handberg delivers a lecture on cultural resilience in an era marked by war, geopolitical tensions, and growing uncertainty. He examines how culture is increasingly viewed as part of society's preparedness framework, and explores the new forms of "soft power" that characterize our time.

Kristian Handberg holds a Ph.D. and is an adjunct lecturer in art history. In autumn 2026, he publishes the book Cultural Preparedness with Malene Breunig, a lecturer in Danish and Nordic aesthetics and cultural history.
