SUMMARY:Brown Bag Lunch - Danish Author Pernille Ipsen\, Book Discussion "My Seven Mothers: Making a Family in the Danish Women's Movement"
DESCRIPTION:Please join MoDA in welcoming Danish author Pernille Ipsen as we discuss her newly translated book “My Seven Mothers: Making a Family in the Danish Women’s Movement”. This event will be a discussion with the author about her book led by author Anna Redsand. There will also be time for Q & A from the audience.  \n\n\n\nSeven women raise a child together while redefining their place in society at the beginning of the Women’s Movement in Denmark in the 1970sOn New Year’s Eve in Copenhagen in 1972\, seven women had a child together: one gave birth and six others attended. They had met a year earlier at a feminist women’s camp on a small island and now\, with about twenty other women’s liberationists\, they occupied three dilapidated apartment buildings in the center of Copenhagen. One became the country’s first Women’s House\, the nerve center of the Women’s Movement in Denmark\, and the other two were women-only communal living spaces that were Pernille Ipsen’s first home. In this intimate portrait of life during the exhilarating early days of women’s liberation in Scandinavia and dramatic social change around the globe\, she tells the stories of these seven women\, her seven mothers. \n\n\n\nRecounting her mothers’ history—from the passions and beliefs they shared to the political divisions over sexual identity that ultimately split them apart—Ipsen captures the individuality of each of her mothers as well as the common experiences that drew them together. As she deftly reflects the practical and emotional realities of her mothers’ women-centered life\, Ipsen presents an engrossing picture of intersecting lives that\, half a century ago\, raised questions we still grapple with today: What is a family? Who is a woman? And who gets to decide?  \n\n\n\nA chronicle of gender\, sexuality\, and feminism as it was constructed\, contested\, and lived\, My Seven Mothers is an eye-opening account of the challenges and possibilities connected with liberation and radical social change during the 1970s. In this time of fierce struggles over family\, sexuality\, and child-rearing\, it reminds us that new worlds are always possible. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it to this event? We will have a second opportunity also on the 20th\, at 6:00 pm in Des Moines at Barnes & Noble on University Ave.  \n\n\n\nThe Brown Bag Lunch Series is a free monthly speaker series sponsored by Dennis Andersen

SUMMARY:Nordic Vikings: Myth vs Reality
DESCRIPTION:Vikings are everywhere in the Nordic countries—and not just in museums behind glass. You’ll spot them in street names\, café décor\, local legends\, and especially in Nordic countries like Iceland\, Denmark\, and Norway\, where the medieval past still feels weirdly… present. \n\n\n\nAdam Bierstedt\, Albert Ravenholt Curator of Danish-American Culture\, will be joining the Travel & Culture Group in Omaha to provide a lively history of the Vikings and the sagas that tell their stories. Interwoven with this event will be stories from Adam’s time living in Iceland and Denmark\, accompanied by a couple objects from his and MoDA’s collections. \n\n\n\nThis talk is a lively\, story-filled look at how Viking history shows up in modern Scandinavia—and why the Vikings remain ridiculously fascinating: bold explorers\, master shipbuilders\, traders\, storytellers\, and yes… occasional problem-solvers via axe. \n\n\n\nOrganized by the Travel and Culture Group in Omaha.

SUMMARY:The Stories Behind the Sound - Live Jazz Webinar with Henrik Wolsgaard-Iversen
DESCRIPTION:Live on Zoom + In-Person Viewing at the Museum \n\n\n\nJoin us for a special live conversation with jazz historian and broadcaster Henrik Wolsgaard-Iversen exploring the American jazz musicians who made Copenhagen their home in the 1950s and ’60s—especially those drawn to the legendary Montmartre Jazz Club. \n\n\n\nThrough rare video clips\, personal anecdotes\, and historical context\, Henrik will bring to life stories of some of the greatest jazz musicians who loved Denmark\, including Ben Webster\, Dextor Gordon\, and Louis Armstrong. Wolsgaard-Iversen offers a uniquely personal perspective on why Denmark became a creative hub for so many musicians. \n\n\n\nThis event will be framed as an informal\, engaging conversation rather than a traditional lecture\, with time for questions from the audience. Each segment will pair archival footage with stories that humanize these icons and place them within the broader jazz scene of the era. \n\n\n\nAttend live via Zoom or join us at the museum for an in-person viewing experience. \n\n\n\nFree with registration. Please register by January 28\, 2025. Register here! \n\n\n\nCome listen\, learn\, and experience the stories behind the sound. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is sponsored by a dedicated MoDA Board Member and Danish Sisterhood Dronning Margrethe Lodge #15\, Milwaukee\, WI.

SUMMARY:MoDA @ the Library
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how museums began? Before grand galleries and glass cases\, there were cabinets of curiosities—wonderfully cluttered collections filled with everything from sparkling crystals to so-called “unicorn” horns. \n\n\n\nIn this program\, kids will journey back in time to discover how these fascinating collections evolved into the museums we know today. Students will create their own miniature cabinet of curiosities\, using tiny treasures\, scrapbook paper\, and labels to design their own pocket-sized museum! \n\n\n\nThis program is a collaboration between the Elk Horn Public Library and the Museum of Danish America.

SUMMARY:The Greenland Monument: A Century of Danish-Greenlandic Relations
DESCRIPTION:Live on Zoom + In-Person Viewing at the Museum \n\n\n\nIn this timely conversation\, Martine Lind Krebs explores the complex colonial history between Denmark and Greenland through the story of the Greenland Monument in Copenhagen. Erected in the 1930s\, when Greenland was still a Danish colony and Norway had annexed parts of Eastern Greenland\, the monument remains standing in central Copenhagen\, even as other colonial monuments have been removed or defaced. \n\n\n\nThrough the lens of this monument\, Martine reveals how Denmark has viewed Greenland over the past century. She also shares the powerful story of Greenlandic politicians’ protests at the International Court of Justice in The Hague and highlights how Greenlandic leaders\, activists\, and artists have continually challenged Danish narratives about their land. \n\n\n\nThis webinar offers historical insight\, contemporary relevance\, and an opportunity to reflect on memory\, identity\, and representation. \n\n\n\nAttend live via Zoom or join us at the museum for an in-person viewing experience. \n\n\n\nFree with registration. Please register by March 26\, 2026. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is sponsored by Danish board member Erik Nørkjær and a dedicated member of the MoDA board.
