18 August will mark the start of India Today – Copenhagen Tomorrow, at which time some of India’s foremost artists, designers, filmmakers, authors, musicians, businesspeople, thinkers and scientists will descend upon the Danish capital and stay throughout the autumn.
India Today – Copenhagen Tomorrow will give Danes an opportunity to get fresh insight into this fascinating country. Starting in August, some of India’s most prominent cultural and business figures will come to Denmark and reveal the current pulses in the fields of art, fashion, film, design, business and research. The event features exhibitions, festivals, concerts, conferences, seminars and workshops – and involves partners like ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, the CPH PIX film festival, the Royal Danish Theatre, the University of Copenhagen and Copenhagen Business School.
