I have a tattoo on my back that I would like to use as a representation for this project. It’s a Greenlandic figure of a woman. I got it when I moved to Aarhus in 2012, and I think the meaning of it has changed multiple times over the years. […]

I wrote this book together with my father – Hendrik Mørch. The title, Kinaassuseq, means identity and is inspired by one of the poems my father wrote. He had already written these poems, 20 years ago. Back then, they were considered harsh and unfit for the public, and it was impossible to […]

I am from Narsaq, in the south of Greenland. When I think back to my childhood, the colonial structure was right inside my home. We weren’t allowed to speak Greenlandic around my father and when we ate traditional food, he would eat something else. I felt really misplaced, like I […]

Future Memory Stories, Lasse Kyed, The Concept of Being Good, Pitsaassuseq pillugu

I found it such a strange idea to provide a physical thing that says something about how I want to be remembered. What I keep coming back to is a concept instead of a physical object. What popped up in my mind is this idea of being a good person. […]

I decided to bring a notebook, a pen, post-its and a highlighter because they all represent one thing for me: EDUCATION. For me, it’s important to get an education, to gain knowledge and fight for a better future for myself and the coming generations. With the help of a pen […]

I wanted to choose something alive at this exact moment. When a flower dies, it becomes part of the earth and can arise again. In 50 years, all the many fashionable, short-lived things that we surround ourselves with these days will be considered outdated. They won’t matter anymore. This rose, […]

I want to be remembered as that person who took action: that person who voiced her opinion and took action.  Right now, I’m doing everything I can to overcome my performance anxiety. Because if you want to be heard, you have to speak up. In Greenland, we are still recovering […]

Being creative in various ways is a hobby of mine, and it keeps me calm and relaxed. In Greenland, women are known for being creative with their hands, such as the sewing of skin and beads. I somehow feel that through the creations that I make, I learn more about […]

This is a Fujifilm X-Pro2 camera with a 27mm pancake lens, and to the left you can see a 30-year-old 100mm Nikon lens. The camera has a retro-style housing but is actually a highly advanced mirrorless camera. I love the size of it because you can walk around and take […]
