Let's Explore Empowerment with Kenneth Grøning Petersen
A New York state of mind
and a forgotten roll of film
In Denmark, the pandemic had a huge impact on our daily life, as it did everywhere else. In December 2020 we entered a second, almost complete, lockdown.

As Covid-19 changed everything for everyone, a rediscovered cache of photos reminded Kenneth Grøning that memory can empower us to cope with chaos.

Moondance Diner: The diner had been in business since 1935, but in 2008 it was replaced by an apartment building as land values increased. It’s sad to think that New York has lost such an authentic piece of its built history. There’s an informative article about the Moonlight Diner on Wikipedia.
