“As a host I wanted to ensure that everyone was happy, but how can you measure happiness and not the meaningful dinner of Networking. Meaningful in a sense where artists network and talked /asked questions in order to discover another artist viewpoints by sharing feeling and experiences and most of the time the talks on the table were so. For the most part we discussed our personal artistic projects, the Danish and international scene in Denmark and integration … and one of the best talks was about the peak point in our artistic lives so far. On a personal level I was very touched that I welcomed a Syrian Artist without knowing him. He missed a special drink and I offered that from home – the guy was all the way up with the stars … it’s a small gesture but I felt good that he saw the stars and he felt home.”
