Everyone is talking about Greenland. Eight artists speak for themselves: Fire & Ice opens at Copenhagen Contemporary

On 10 September, Copenhagen Contemporary opens its doors to Fire & Ice – On Belonging and Becoming in Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), a group exhibition bringing together eight contemporary artists who have roots in Kalaallit Nunaat, Greenland. Across visual art, performance, literature and activism, the artists insist on telling their own stories — at a time when Greenland occupies more of the world’s attention than ever, yet is rarely given the floor to speak for itself.
