“In Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), the Inuit people are known for carving portable maps out of driftwood to be used while navigating coastal waters.”
“These three wooden maps show the journey from Sermiligaaq to Kangertittivatsiaq, on Greenland’s East Coast.”

When it ended, in late May, the country was on the precipice of a revolution, demanding that Black lives matter. …
“The tension between the images, the headlines, and the everyday realities of living in our current time is what guides this project …”
