Across Oceans, Across Time ® … Sense of Place by Diana Velasco

Photographs of the Danish Villages by Diana Velasco –

Diana Velasco, a Danish fine art photographer, returns to the Museum of Danish America to share her photographs of Elk Horn and Kimballton, the “Danish Villages” of Iowa. This artist-in-residence project invites community members to identify public spaces of personal significance to them. Velasco then takes photographs that create a “community portrait gallery” of the places that shape local memory and identity. On view now through December.

The “Sense of Place” project is funded in part by a grant from the Iowa Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Celebrating Danish roots and American dreams!
