This is a story in the Mapping the Ghetto in Paradise series.
The Superkilen park is designed by the arts group named Superflex, with the collaboration of a German architecture firm (Topotek1). The park opened in June 2012 with 112 installations from over 60 countries.
The name of the park, Kilen, transfers to Wedge in English, which refers to the shape of the park – a wedge in the Nørrebro neighbourhood.
The Nørrebro area of Copenhagen is known to be the multi-cultural heart of the city. This diverse neighbourhood is home to three of Denmark’s “ghettos” – Lundtoftegade, Aldersrogade, and Mjølnerparken.
The following is a collection of photos, meant to take readers on a virtual walk through the Nørrebro area, starting near Nørrebro station and making their way through Superkilen park.
