For this month's Third Thursday Virtual Program, go behind the scenes of our upcoming exhibit, From Taste to Tech: 100 Years of Nordic Innovation & Impact, and experience the story of Nordic influence in America through the eyes of ASHM's Curator, Brett Peters!
More than a showcase of iconic moments, From Taste to Technology reveals how Nordic values of lifestyle, design, and social responsibility traveled to the United States and took root in everyday life. This exclusive behind-the-scenes tour will offer an insider’s look at the curatorial decision-making process - from the objects selected to the stories left on the cutting-room floor.
Participants will gain insight into how Brett balanced nostalgia with innovation, popular culture with deeper social themes, and breadth of material with storytelling. The talk highlights key exhibition moments while inviting visitors to consider how history is constructed, whose stories are told, and how Nordic creativity continues to shape American tastes, technologies, and daily life.
