Queen Margrethe II of Denmark is celebrated by street art.
May Enhedslisten (danish left wing party, that's aginst the royal house) preserve me
Each piece has a quote from the Queen’s New Year’s speaches over the years.
Every New Year’s Eve at 6pm our Queen transmits the traditional New Year’s speach that many Danes see as part of their New Year’s Eve traditions.
The speaches are often used to summarize the key events and themes from the past year. She must not, according to the Danish Constitution, interfere with politics, but she is always critical to the way the Danish society is heading. So she does not take any political positions, but still she comments unfortunate trends in Danish society. The New Year’s speaches are always the subject of great public debate, and in that way important in the creating of our national feeling, and repeat the central Danish values; as social responsibility, and open mindednes.
The Royal Street Art is found in Aarhus, and must have been set up as a tribute to the Queen on her 40th anniversary.

It is in the retrospect that the past seems so safely manageable, while the future is full of "if"
At Aarhus main shopping street
also at Aarhus main shopping street
currently it seems as if we have opinions on almost everything in relation to society. Large as well as small
It was the pure evil. A wanted recklessness. In front of Aarhus Art Building
it is typical for us in Denmark, we do not like conflicts
