Two evening talks at Østerbro Library look at the everyday life of the pig in Denmark, a country with far more pigs than people, although few of us ever see them alive. Both talks build on recent books.
- Klara Trebbien Rasmussen, journalist and author, spent a month undercover on a conventional Danish pig farm. She describes a harsh routine where speed comes before care, and what first feels wrong slowly becomes ordinary. Her talk covers ethical dilemmas and animal welfare, based on her book Flæsk.
- Inger Anneberg, anthropologist, journalist and researcher with a PhD focused on animal welfare in farming, takes the audience on a journey through pig country Denmark. Drawing on her book Hele svineriet, she challenges common assumptions and presents the pig as the intelligent, living animal it is.
