Anthropologist and author Inger Anneberg takes you on an anthropological journey through Denmark, the country of pigs, where there are far more pigs than people, yet most of us rarely meet a living one. Pork is familiar from the butcher's counter, but here the animal itself comes into focus, long before it reaches the dinner table.
The talk is based on her book Hele svineriet, which challenges common assumptions about pigs and presents them as the unique, intelligent living creatures they are. Anneberg is a journalist, anthropologist and researcher with a PhD focused on animal welfare in farming, so the evening looks at pigs through both science and everyday experience.
The event is part of a two-evening lecture series on farming and animal welfare, alongside a talk by Klara Trebbien Rasmussen on her book Flæsk. Attending both evenings is available as a discounted package.
