Grönland – Not For Sale – Kalaallit Nunaat Forever
In the organizer's words:
An exhibition of the ALPS Alpine Museum of Switzerland, Bern, in collaboration with the Frankfurter Kunstverein
Curated by Beat Hächler (Director ALPS Alpines Museum der Schweiz, Bern) and Gian Suhner (filmmaker) and for contemporary art by Franziska Nori (Director Frankfurter Kunstverein)
With Julie Edel Hardenberg and Kim Kleist Eriksen
Greenland, a country surrounded by the Arctic Ocean, six times the size of Germany.
The eternal ice is constantly melting and the country is facing huge changes that zoom in on the issues of our time like a magnifying glass. Its approximately 57,000 inhabitants are currently facing massive challenges from a rapidly changing geopolitical situation and find themselves the focus of international desire. What does it mean to preserve one's identity and independence in the face of media and political attention?
Greenland's change is violent, impetuous and contradictory. How do the local people see it? How have feelings of cultural and national belonging shifted since the recent geopolitical events? What art and music expresses the feelings of its inhabitants, especially the younger generation?
Greenland - Not For Sale - Kalaallit Nunaat Forever is an exhibition shown in cooperation with the ALPS Alpine Museum of Switzerland, Bern. Touching and intimate filmic testimonies were created over four years. They enable a sensory journey into the kaleidoscopic stories of a complex country and its people. They take us into their reality and create new insights and understanding for their country and their cultures. What seems so far away is yet so close.
