press release

Act 2: Greenland Greenland is a self-governing country, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. From April 21 – May 14, the capital Nuuk will host Act 2, which takes its starting point in the symbolic and lived experiences with postcolonial dependency and marginalization. Act 2 consists of an art exhibition and a public hearing.

This exhibition focuses on contemporary experiences with postcolonial societies and cultures. Identities are examined in their relationship to such factors as state, militarization, and globalization, but also in relationship to landscape and memory. It addresses questions of dependency and marginalization, and proposes ways out of subordination.
