BIG KICKS OFF ANNUAL GOLDEN DAYS CULTURE FESTIVAL WITH ’50 QUEENS’ EXHIBITION

Her Majesty, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has officiated BIG’s exhibition at the annual Golden Days culture festival in the heart of Copenhagen. Titled ’50 Queens’, the exhibit is a sculptural takeover of Copenhagen’s iconic King’s Square – temporarily renamed to Queen’s Square – featuring notable women in Danish history with the mission to bring more diversity to the city’s many male statues and celebrate Denmark’s fearless women. The exhibition was led by BIG Landscape Partner, Giulia Frittoli and Partner, David Zahle. “Our exhibition celebrates the untold stories of women who have made significant contributions to Danish history but haven’t yet been properly recognized. As more focus is brought to issues of social justice and equality, we are so proud and honored to contribute to the conversation and give a voice to those who haven’t been heard. With 50 Queens, I hope we can raise awareness about the importance of gender equality and social diversity in our cities and public spaces to inform how we can improve our urban communities of today and plan for more equal cities of tomorrow,” says Giulia Frittoli, Partner, BIG
