Who Gets to Belong in the Art World?

This week, I received a working grant from the Danish Arts Foundation — after fifteen years of rejection.

In this episode, I reflect on what it means to finally be “recognised” as an artist.

On the idea of the elite — and the quiet feeling of still being outside of it.

On the realities of working conditions in the art world, money, and the body under pressure.

This is a personal essay about value, survival, and the moment something shifts — not in the system, but inside.
