Greenland is a door to a world of opportunities. You just need the right key. Setting up a business in a new country calls for thorough councelling and in-depth knowledge of all aspects of local law and cultural issues. Which is why you should talk to a law firm, that holds the right key.

P den tid af ret, hvor dagslyset vender tilbage, og hvor kong vinter slipper sit kolde greb om byen Sisimiut ved polarcirklen, strmmer energien ind i lokalsamfundet. Det er tid til forrets store begivenheder.

Sneen ligger stadig som en dyne over landskabet. Spejdersen, der ligger

midt i byen, er stadig frossen. kalen-deren viser start april. en hundeslde glider lydlst henover isen. Stilheden bliver kun afbrudt af frsende snescoo-tere og de ulveagtige hyl fra de hunde, der har fri i dag.

P selvsamme s stod hele Sisimiuts befolkning i sidste uge med kolde ter

og rde kinder for at sende Arctic Circle race-deltagere fra hele verden af sted p deres eventyr. Nu danner sen og kulturhuset, der ligger lige ved bredden, ramme om den nste store forrsbegi-venhed; musikfestivalen Arctic Sounds. Selvom fokus de sidste dage har ligget hos skilbet, er festivalen allerede tyvstartet.

bningskoncertenP festivaler rundt om i verden er det en kunst i sig selv at finde ud af, hvem der skal vre bningsnavnet. I Sisimiut greb arrangrerne det lige omvendt an.

ugen op til selve festivalen var nemlig spkket med talentudvikling og kultu-relle mder, og det var netop resultatet af disse mder, publikum kunne opleve til bningskoncerten.

tyvstarten p festivalen blev afholdt med alverdens musikalske workshops og deltagere fra hele Norden. bnings-koncerten bd p en intim oplevelse, hvor kunstnerne sammen prsenterede tyve af deres helt nye sange i helt nye makkerpar og trioer.

Nogle sange var skrevet et par dage forinden, mens der blev lagt sidste hnd p enkelte andre i backstage-lokalet, lige inden koncerten begyndte. For publikum var det en speciel oplevelse at komme s tt p noget, der endnu var skrbeligt. Som lyttende blev man inviteret med ind i et univers, ellers kun sangskrivere kender.

Tttere pbningskoncerten blev nrmest et symbol p resten af Arctic Sounds. en festival, hvor man kommer tttere p. Det var noget, bde publikum og kunst-nerne lagde mrke til. 53 koncerter p fire dage i en by med 5.500 indbyggere betyder musik alle vegne.

Det specielle ved Arctic Sounds er musikken og kulturen omkring den. Det er derfor vigtigt for arrangrerne, at s mange som overhovedet muligt i lokalsamfundet fr lov at vre med til at opleve. ogs dem, der ikke selv har mulighed for at bevge sig til koncer-terne. Derfor blev der afholdt gratis koncerter i den nrmeste bygd, Itilleq, hvor der bor lige omkring 112 menne-

sker, samt p alderdomshjem, butikker og i folkeskoler.

S snart der var et hul i festivalspro-grammet, greb de besgende chancen for at opleve de srlige ting, Sisimiut kan tilbyder. Mange kunstnere tog en eftermiddag p hundeslde. Andre p snescooter. Heldigvis nede de det alle, for under de fire dage, festivalen foregik, skiftede vejret pludselig om til reelt forr.

Besg Sisimiuttemperaturen steg til over frysepunktet. Sneen p hustagene smeltede hurtigt under solens strler, og de frste mske lidt optimistiske nder landede i den samme s, som hundeslderne f dage forinden havde krt p.

Forret er en pulseren-de tid at besge Sisimiut p. I r kunne man opleve et af verdens hrdeste skilb, en ambitis mu-sikfestival og byens frste store Gay Pride Parade. Alt sammen i lbet af den frste halvanden uge af april.

Hvis du er til ekstrem-sport eller til store kultu-relle mder i musikkens tegn, s er denne rstid perfekt for dig. Nste rs Arctic Sounds bliver afholdt d. 6. 9. april 2017, hvor arrangrerne

arbejder p at f et charterfly ind fra Canada.

At this time of year, where the daylight returns and king Winter releases his cold grip on the town of Sisimiut near the Arctic Circle, energy flows into the local community. It is time for the major spring events.

the snow still blankets the landscape. In the middle of town, Spejder Lake is still frozen. the calendar shows April will soon be here. A dog sled glides silently over the ice. the silence is bro-ken only by the roaring of snowmobiles and the wolf-like howls of the dogs that have the day off today. the entire population of Sisimiut stood on this lake last week with cold feet, seeing off Arctic Circle race participants from all over the world as they departed on

their adventures. Now the lake and the culture centre that lies on its banks are the venue for the next big spring event; the Arctic Sounds music festival. Although focus in recent days has been on the ski race, the festival has jumped the gun.

The opening concertAt festivals around the world it is an art in itself to decide on the opening name. In Sisimiut, the arrangers took a diffe-rent approach. the week up to the fe-stival was filled with talent development and cultural meetings and it was the result of these meetings that the public experienced at the opening concert.

the jump start to the festival began

with a wide variety of music workshops with participants from all over the north. the opening concert featured an intimate experience, where the artists performed together in new combina-tions of twos and threes to present twenty of their brand new songs.

Some songs were written several days in advance, while others were finished at the last minute in the backstage room just before the concert began. It was a special experience for the public to get so close to something that was still very fragile. the listeners were in-vited into a universe which is otherwise known only to songwriters.

Closerthe opening concert was like a symbol of the rest of Arctic Sounds. It was a festival of intimacy. the public and the artists felt this. 53 concerts in four days in a town with 5,500 inhabitants meant there was music everywhere.

Arctic Sounds is unique because of the music and culture that it involves. It is therefore important to the arrangers that as many as possible from the local community are able to take part in the experience. that includes those who are not able to make their way to the concerts. Free concerts were therefore held in the nearest village of Itilleq with its 112 inhabitants, as well as at a reti-rement home, in shops and in schools.

As soon as there was a gap in the fe-stival programme, the visitors grabbed the chance to see the sights of Sisimiut. Many artists took an afternoon trip with a dog sled, others tried snowmo-biles. Fortunately, they all accomplished what they wanted, because during the four days of the festival, the weather changed suddenly to spring.

Visit Sisimiutthe temperature rose to above freezing. the snow on the rooftops melted quickly in the rays of the sun and the first perhaps over-optimistic ducks landed in the same lake the dogsleds had driven over just a few days before.

Spring is a vibrant time to visit Sisi-

miut. this year, it was possible to expe-rience one of the toughest ski races in the world, an ambitious music festival and the towns first big Gay Pride Pa- rade. All during the first week and a half of April.

If you like extreme sports or big cul-tural meetings themed around music, this time of year is perfect for you. Next years Arctic Sounds will be held on 6th

9th April 2017 and the arrangers are working on chartering an aircraft from Canada.

I 2007 udstillede kunstneren buuti Pedersen p kunstmu- seet i Ilulissat. I den forbin-delse afholdt hun et maler- kursus for interesserede i byen, hvor de bl.a. skulle male en sol. Det synes delta-gerne var s sjovt, at nogle af dem efterflgende oprettede

malergruppen Seqineq, som betyder sol.

Da Ilulissat med sin place-ring p 69 grader Nord ikke ser solen i vintermnederne, var det naturligt, at maler-gruppen blev dannet den 13. januar 2007 ved solens genkomst.

Lige siden har gruppen md-tes et par gange om ugen og malet.

- Der har vret mange kunstnere igennem, som har afholdt kurser for os, fortller de.

- Det er vi taknemme-lige for, da det har vret

bde spndende, sjovt og lrerigt.

Denne sommer er maler-gruppen udstillingsaktuelle p Ilulissat kunstmuseum. Malergruppens deltagerne har vekslet gennem rene, men tre af de faste deltagere er Hanne Holm Andersen, elin Andersen og thrine Gamst-Pedersen, der alle er med p sommerens udstilling sammen med bl.a. Irene thor Jeremiassen m.fl.

Kreativ udviklingVed at samles om flles temaer kan gruppens malere inspirere hinanden. Derfor er gruppen ikke lukket, men ben for alle voksne, der er velkomne til at komme og del-tage med egne materialer. P den mde kommer der ogs nye ideer udefra indimellem.

- Man kan sige, at Seqineq danner rammen om vores kreative udvikling, fortller de.

- Nr man mdes flere gange om ugen, er det med til, at man fr malet kontinuerligt. Som med alt andet her i livet er det vigtigt at arbejde med tingene hele tiden, hvis man vil forbedre sig.

Kreativ natur fortolkerthrine Gamst-Pedersen har malet med malergruppen Seqineq siden starten i 2007.

- Det, der primrt inspire-rer mig, er naturen, fuglene og dyrene omkring os, fortller hun.

- Jeg havde ikke beskf-tiget mig med maleri fr malergruppens start. Nu kan jeg ikke undvre det.

- Jeg maler primrt med acrylmaling, men jeg har ogs prvet at arbejde med akvarel. Jeg vender altid tilbage til acryl, for det er nemmere at arbejde med.

- I den kommende udstil-ling har jeg fortolket naturen omkring Ilulissat, som jeg be- finder mig meget i til hverdag. rundt om byen er der flere af- mrkede ruter, som er gode at g eller lbe i. Jeg lader mig dagligt inspirere derude.

- Jeg har vret med til alle Seqineqs udstillinger og gl-

der mig meget til sommerens udstilling, slutter thrine.

HistoriefortllerHanne Holms arbejde som billedkunstner er som histo-riefortller.

- Jeg omstter myter, oplevelser og fortllinger til symboler og farvestrukturer, forklarer Hanne.

- Jeg er fritids billedkunst-ner og har uddannet mig gennem en lang rkke kurser i tegning og maling p kunstskoler i Danmark, tyrki-et, Frankrig, Italien, Spanien og her i Ilulissat.

- Jeg har udviklet min egen malerstil Milalik paint, ved at vre medlem af maler-gruppen Seqineq.

- Milalik er det grnlandske ord for noget, der har mrke pletter, og det beskriver me-get godt min malerstil.

- Jeg arbejder med mange typer af materialer og med bde landskaber og byer. Jeg er primrt inspireret af ekspressionisterne.

- Mine billeder til som-merens udstilling er malet med akryl. Det er grnland-ske motiver, der bl.a. viser indlandsisen set fra oven

akkompagneret af musik p slden, ravne med fjeldet som baggrund, de arktiske blomster p det grnlandske fjeld og sortebr med de fire rstider som baggrund, slutter Hanne.

UdstillingerVed at formidle deres kunst til andre nsker malergrup-pen Seqineq at skabe interes-se for kunst.

I nsten alle rene har gruppen haft en juleudstilling p Ilulissat kunstmuseums 1. sal i december mned.

De har ogs udstillet p Qeqertarssuaq Museum og Qaasuitsup kommunea.

- I r har vi fet den store re at udstille til Ilulissat kunstmuseums sommerud-stilling. Det er vi meget glade for, slutter damerne.

udstillingen p Ilulissat kunstmuseum varer juni, juli og august.

kunst / art

In 2007, artist buuti Peder-sen held an exhibition in the art museum in Ilulissat. In connection with this, she held a painting course for people from the town who were interested, where one of the exercises was to paint a sun. those participating in the course thought this was such fun, that some of them subsequently formed the Seqineq (sun) painters group.

Since Ilulissat, with its loca-tion at 69 degrees northern latitude, does not see the sun in the winter months, it was natural that the painting

group was formed in 2007 on January 13th, the day the sun returns

Since then, the group has met a couple of times a week to paint.

- there have been many artists who have held courses for us over the years, they say.

- We are very grateful for this, because it has been interesting, fun and educa-tional.

this summer, the painting group has an exhibition at Ilulissat Museum of Art. the members of the painting group have come and gone

over the years, but the regu-lar members, Hanne Holm Andersen, elin Andersen and thrine Gamst-Pedersen all have works on show at the summer exhibition together with Irene thor Jeremiassen and others.

Creative developmentby having themes in com-mon, the painters in the group can inspire each other. For this reason, the group is not closed, but is instead open for all adults who are welcome to come and take part with their own mate-

rials. In this way, new ideas from the outside are brought into the group.

- You could say that Seqi- neq forms the framework around our creative develop-ment, they say.

- When you meet several times a week, it helps to keep you painting. Like anything else in life, it is im-portant to work with things all the time, if you want to improve.

Creative interpretation of naturethrine Gamst-Pedersen has painted with the Seqineq painting group since the beginning in 2007.

- I am primarily inspired by nature and the birds and animals around us, she says.

- I had not painted before the group started. Now I

cannot do without it. I paint mostly in acrylics, but I have also worked with water colours. I always go back to acrylics because they are easier to work with.

- In the coming exhibition I have interpreted the nature surrounding Ilulissat, where I spend a lot of time. there are marked trails around town which are good for walking or running. I am inspired every day out there.

- I have taken part in all Seqineqs exhibitions and I am looking forward to the exhibition this summer, ends thrine.

StorytellerHanne Holms work as an

artist takes the form of story- telling.

- I translate legends, experiences and stories into symbols and colour structure, explains Hanne.

- I am a recreational artist and I have learned through a series of courses in drawing and painting at art schools in Denmark, turkey, France, Ita-ly, Spain and here in Ilulissat.

- I have developed my own painting style Milalikpaint, by being a member of the Seqineq group.

- Milalik is the Greenlandic word for something that has dark spots and this describes my painting style very well.

- I work with many types of materials, both with

landscapes and towns. I am primarily inspired by the expressionists.

- My pictures for the summer exhibition are pain-ted with acrylics. they are Greenlandic motifs showing, things like the ice cap seen from above accompanied by the music of the sled, ravens with the fells in the back-ground, the Arctic flowers on the Greenlandic fells and crowberries with the four seasons as the background, ends Hanne.

Exhibitionsby conveying their art to others, the Seqineq group wants to create interest for art. Almost every year, the

group has had a Christmas exhibition on the first floor of Ilulissat Art Museum in December. they have also exhibited at Qeqertarssuaq Museum and Qaasuitsup kommunea.

- this year, we have the great honour of exhibiting at the Ilulissat Art Museums summer exhibition. We are very happy about this, con-clude the ladies.

the exhibition at Ilulissat Art Museum can be seen in June, July and August.

Artas a hobbytext: greenland today


en glad og smilende leder af Nuuk kunstmuseum; Nivi Christensen, tager imod ved indgangen og viser op igen-nem de spndende lokaler med skiftende udstillinger til et lille hyggeligt kontor med skr vgge under taget p den gamle bygning. P vejen

stopper hun og konfererer med en af museets ansatte om ophngningen af et vrk, der er flyttet til en ny placering for at give det mere opmrksomhed.

- Det er det sknne ved at vre her, forklarer Nivi Christensen.

- Det er et meget afvekslen-de job, bde at have fingrene nede i de daglige opgaver og hnge vrker op, ans-ge om store fonde og vise rundt. Det er meget alsidigt at vre i en lille institution.

- Nogle kunstvrker har vi flyttet flere gange, fr vi var tilfredse. P den mde skaber vi ogs lidt afveksling i den permanente udstilling, hvor vi desvrre ikke har plads til at vise alle de vrker, museet rummer hele tiden.

Stor samling tidligere var bygningen Adventistkirke, og derfor er her stadig et lille trn p bygningen. kunstmuseets 650 m2 bestr af en gammel afdeling og en ny tilbygning, der giver en god kombina-tion af ldre kunst i den permanente udstilling og skiftende udstillinger med nye moderne kunstnere.

I den permanente samling er et omfattende udvalg af ldre kunst med blandt andre emanuel A. Petersens vrker. Desuden indgr der vrker af Harald Moltke, I.e.C. rasmussen og Christi-ne Deichmann. Museet har ogs nyere vrker af kunst-nere som Miki Jacobsen, Fre-derik kunngi kristensen, buuti Pedersen, Anne-birthe Hove, Maria Pannguak` kjrulff og Lisbeth karline Poulsen.

I alt omfatter samlingen p Nuuk kunstmuseum godt 300 akvareller, tegninger, grafik og malerier samt 400 figurer af grnlandske kunst-nere udfrt i fedtsten, ben, tr og tand.

Fantastisk gaveNuuk kunstmuseum drives af Sermersooq kommune og er i dag Grnlands strste kunstmuseum. bygningen og strstedelen af vrkerne var en gave fra det dansk-grn-landske par Svend og Helene Junge.

Lige siden Svends ankomst til Grnland i 1940erne hav-de parret indkbt grnlandsk kunst, litteratur, frimrker og lignende.

efter et langt arbejdsliv synes de, at deres samling skulle komme flere perso-ner til gode, og sknkede i 2005 museet som en gave til Grnland generelt og Nuuk i srdeleshed.

Portrtter af Svend og Helene Junge, udfrt af kunstneren Christian rosing Nuunu i r 2000, pryder derfor indgangen til Nuuk kunstmuseum.

Treklverudover museet er to andre sevrdigheder tilknyttet Nuuk kunstmuseum.

Et r p postenDen kun 29-rige museums-leder er positivt overrasket over folks modtagelse og reaktion p, at hun kom til museet.

- Jeg var selvflgelig be-tnkelig inden starten, bl.a. om Nuuk var indstillet p at have en kunstinstitution, som ikke kun havde gamle ting, men ogs noget nyt og mere, fortller Nivi Christensen.

Hun er ikke selv kunstner, men har fet interessen fra barnsben med en mor, der selv er kunstner, og et hjem fyldt med masser af kunst-nervenner, hvorfor Nivi ken-der mange af de grnlandske kunstnere privat.

- Jeg har ogs altid snakket om kunst med mine forl-dre. Min far var museumsle-der i tasiilaq, og de har altid

taget mig med p museer, nr vi var p ferie.

Nivi Christensen har ikke haft nogen ambition om selv at blive kunstner, men forfulgte interessen for kunst ved at blive uddannet kunst-historiker fra kbenhavns universitet.

- Jeg troede ellers, at jeg skulle vre gymnasielrer med billedkunst som det primre fag.

- Jeg fik lov at arbejde med kunsten i Det grnlandske Hus i kbenhavn. Her arbej-dede jeg med udstillinger og den kunstneriske proces om-kring at kuratere udstillinger, lave udstillingsplakater osv.

- Lige nu er her rigeligt at se til, men jeg har en drm om at skrive en Phd om grnlandsk kunst p et tidspunkt, fortller Nivi.

Fremtidens kunstmuseum- Vi har flere ideer, end vi har ressourcer til. Vi har f.eks. lige fet et refugium med to sm vrelser, hvor kunstne-re udefra kan bo i det ene, mens de udstiller her. Det andet vrelse er til nordiske kunstnere, der producerer, mens de er her, hvor deres produktion sker i samspil med Nuuk.

- Museet stod i 10 r, som Svend Junge efterlod det. Nu fr vi lov til at udvide konceptet, og gre noget andet og noget mere. Vores vision er at lave nogle n-dringer med respekt for den oprindelige gave fra Helene og Svend Junge. Det er nd-vendigt med forandringer for at f folk ind p museet igen

og igen, og det er fedt at se, det nytter.

- Det betyder bl.a., at vi forsger at have ca. otte nye udstillinger om ret. F.eks. den aktuelle udstilling med Anne-birthe Hove, der var en drm for mig at f til Nuuk, fortller Nivi Christensen.

- Vi samarbejder med katuaq og har tidligere haft samtidsudstillinger med en del af udstillingerne i katuaq og en del p Nuuk kunstmu-seum.

- Alle kommer og bruger museet. brn, unge og gam-le og alle der imellem. Det er meget sjovere at lave noget, nr der kommer en reakti-on - ogs for kunstnerne. Det sjoveste er at skabe et museum, der kan g i dialog

med publikum. Vi s ogs en stor opbakning p kulturnat-ten med over 500 gster. Desuden er flere kunstinstitu-tioner i Danmark begyndt at henvende sig.

- Vi har ikke en tradition for, at museer skal pvirke folk i Grnland. Ved at in-volvere brnene hber vi at starte en form for opdra-gelse om, at kunstmuseer er spndende. Der er f.eks. ikke museumsbesg i skoler-nes lseplaner. tidligere var det hovsa besg i en friti-me. Nu kommer skolerne ind og arbejde her med emner via kunsten, hvilket allerede har givet en fantastisk reak-tion fra flere skoler allerede. Nu krer kunstskolen og gymnasiernes billedkunst-

hold forskellige forlb her, forklarer hun.

- Fedt at vi kan prge nogen til at udvikle deres for-hold til kunst. bde det, der er pnt, og de kunstvrker der siger noget om samtiden.

- Folk m gerne forholde sig til brugskunsten kon-tra billedkunst. Hvor gr grnsen? Hvornr er noget kunst?

- Det mest spndende er at se folks reaktioner p det, museet laver. Jeg er sikker p, Nuuk kunstmuseum gr en spndende fremtid i mde, slutter en super enga-geret Nivi Christensen.

A happy and smiling curator of Nuuk Art Museum, Nivi Christensen, bids welcome at the entrance and acts as guide up through the interesting rooms that host changing exhibitions, to a small, cosy office with sloping ceiling under the roof of the old building. on the way, she stops and discusses with a museum employee the hanging of a piece that is being given a more prominent position.

- thats the nice thing about working here, explains Nivi Christensen.

- It is very varied work, with the day to day jobs, hanging pieces and sending applica-tions to the big foundations and showing people round.

the work in a small institution is extremely diversified.

- Some of the pieces have been moved several times before we are pleased with their location. this helps to create variation in the per-manent exhibition, where we unfortunately do not have space to have all the works the museum owns on show all the time.

Huge collectionthe building was previously an Adventist church so there is still a small steeple on the building. the 650 m2 of the art museum consist of an old part and a new exten-sion which gives a good combination of old art in the permanent exhibition and

changing exhibitions with new, modern artists.

In the new permanent col-lection there is an extensive selection of older art, with works by such artists as ema-nuel A. Petersen. Further- more, there are works of Harald Moltke, I.e.C. rasmussen and Christine Deich- mann. the museum also has newer works of artists like Miki Jacobsen, Frederik kunngi kristensen, buuti Pedersen, Anne-birthe Hove, Maria Pannguak` kjrulff and Lisbeth karline Poulsen.

In all, the collection at Nuuk Art Museum consists of more than 300 water colours, drawings, graphic works and paintings as well as 400 figurines by Green-landic artists in soapstone, bone, wood and ivory.

Fantastic giftNuuk Art Museum is run by Sermersooq municipality and today it is Greenlands largest art museum. the building and most of the works were donated by the Danish-Green- landic couple Svend and Helene Junge.

ever since Svends arrival in Greenland in 1940s, the couple had bought Green-landic art, literature, postage stamps and the like.

After a long working life, they thought their collec-tion should benefit more people and they donated the museum in 2005 as a gift to Greenland in general and to Nuuk in particular.

therefore the entrance to Nuuk Art Museum.

Three leaf cloverIn addition to the museum, there are two other attrac- tions connected to Nuuk Art Museum.

Niels Lynges House, which contains the estate of Niels Lynge, a famous Greenlandic

vicar, poet and artist who also was the father of pain-ter of light Hans Lynge. the interior of the house is in the style of 1960s houses in Greenland and it also has several paintings painted directly onto the wall.

the newest branch of the museum is Nuuks town museum which will open in

the summer of 2016 in the old ship building yard in the old colonial harbour. the mu-seum will exhibit artefacts, photos and paintings that tell the story of the town of Nuuk.

One year on the jobthe just 29-year old museum curator is positively surprised about how she was received and at peoples reaction when she came to the museum.

- I was obviously a little he-sitant at first, about whether Nuuk was ready to have a cultural institution which did not only have old things, but also new things and more, says Nivi Christensen.

She is not an artist herself, but she has been interested in art since she was a child and her mother is an artist with many artist friends, so Nivi knows many of the Greenlandic artists privately.

- I have always talked about art with my parents. My father was museum curator in tasiilaq and they have always taken me to museums when we were on holiday.

Nivi Christensen had no ambition to become an ar-

tist, but exploited her interest for art by studying to be an art historian at Copenhagen university.

- I really thought I would be a high school teacher with art as my main subject.

- I was allowed to work with the art at the Greenlan-der's House in Copenhagen. Here, I worked with exhibi-tions and the artistic process of being curator for exhibi-tions and making exhibition posters, etc.

- right now I have plenty to do, but I have a dream of writing a PhD on Greenlandic art sometime, says Nivi.

The art museum of the future- We have more ideas than we have resources to carry out. We have, e.g. a retreat with two small rooms where artists can come to live while they exhibit here. the other room is for Nordic artists who work while they are here, when their produc-tion has a connection to Nuuk.

- For 10 years, the muse-um was just as Svend Junge left it. Now, we are allowed to expand the concept and do more. our vision is to make changes with respect for the original gift from Helene and Svend Junge. It is necessary to make chan-ges, to get people to keep coming back to the museum and it is nice to see that it is working.

- this means, among other things, that we try to do eight new exhibitions each year. I was so pleased to get the present exhibition with

Anne-birthe Hove to Nuuk, says Nivi Christensen.

- We work together with katuaq and have previously had joint exhibitions, with some of the exhibits in ka-tuaq and some at the Nuuk Art Museum.

- everyone comes and uses the museum; children, young people, old people and everyone in between. It is much more fun to do something when there is a reaction for the artist as well. It is more fun to create a museum that is in dialog with the public. We also had a lot of support on Culture Night with more than 500 visitors. In addition, there

are several art institutions in Denmark that have approach- ed us.

- there is no tradition for museums to have any influ-ence on people in Greenland. by involving the children, we hope to start a kind of up-bringing so they learn that art museums are interesting. Visits to art museums are not, for example, part of the school curriculum. Formerly, there could be perhaps an unplanned visit during a free period. Now, the schools

come in and work here with subjects via art, which has already resulted in a fantastic reaction from the schools. the art school and the high schools art students come here to do different courses, she explains.

- It is wonderful that we can influence someone to develop their relationship to art. both with regard to works that are nice to look at, but also works of art that make a contemporary statement

- We want people to relate to handicrafts contra the visual arts. Where does the line go? When is something art?

- the most exciting thing is to see peoples reactions to what the museum is doing. I am sure that Nuuk Art Muse-um is looking at an exciting future, ends a super enthu-siastic Nivi Christensen.

Hvad, hvis der ikke er nogen videnskabeligt beviselig sam- menhng mellem drivhus-gasser, temperaturstigninger, vildt vejr og smeltende glet-sjere?

Hvad nu, hvis klimaet forandrer sig, ligesom det altid har gjort uanset hvad men-nesker gr?

Det er nogle af de sprgsml, som professor emeritus Jo-hannes krger stiller i sin nye bog klimamyten et opgr med tidens Co2-panik.

Sm klimaforandringerI bogen kortlgger han de mange fejlagtige antagelser om klimaet, som efter hans mening har drevet verdens-samfundet ud i en nyttels kampagne mod global op- varmning. Han beskriver, at drivkraften bag nutidens sm klimaforandringer er naturlige klimasvingninger p den store skala, og at Co2s betydning er overvurderet.

Johannes krger forklarer blandt meget andet, hvordan verdenshavene vil fortstte med at stige i de kommende tusinde r, upvirket af klima-

korrekt levevis. At polerne ikke smelter med alarmeren-de hast. At de tropiske orka-ner og storme ikke er blevet flere, men frre end tidlige-re. At trker og mudderskred i den tredje verden ikke er konsekvensen af Co2-udslip, men af en befolkningseks-plosion, der krver mad og forandrer hele landskaber.

Historisk klimaAt der med 1000 rs mellem-rum har vret en varmeperi-ode, ved man bl.a. fra isker-neboringer i den grnlandske indlandsis og fra aflejringer i havbunden forskellige steder p kloden, der kan fortlle om det historiske klima.

Nordboernes tid i Grnland, hvor de dyrkede landbrug for netop 1000 r siden, var sle-

des den sidste varmeperiode med indflydelse p Grnland.

Et vigtigt statement uanset om man tror, at klima- forandringerne er pvirket af vi mennesker eller ej, s er klimamyten en vigtig bog for den fortsatte klimadebat. Det er en informativ og lrerig bog, og man fornemmer, at forfatteren ved, hvad han taler om. Selvom bogens titel ikke lader nogen i tvivl om forfatterens holdning til den til tider overophedede klima-debat, er den langt fra fana-tisk og snarere en udlgning af en tidligere professors empiri (indsamling af data og viden) om et emne, han tydeligvis har arbejdet rigtig meget med.

What if there were no scien-tific evidence connecting greenhouse gasses, rising temperatures, extreme weather and melting glaciers?

What if the climate is changing in the same way it always has, regardless of hu-man activity? these are some of the questions asked by professor emeritus Johannes krger in his new book the Climate Myth a showdown with the current Co2 panic.

Small climate changesIn the book, he puts forward the many erroneous beliefs about the climate which, in his opinion, have driven the world into a useless campaign against global warming. He says that the present small climate chan-ges are the result of natural large scale climate fluctua- tions and that the impor- tance of Co2 is overrated.

Johannes krger explains, for example, how the oceans of the world will continue to rise in the next thousand years, regardless of our behaviour; that the poles are not melting with alarming speed; that there are not more tropical hurricanes and storms than before, but fewer; that draught and mudslides in the world are not a consequence of Co2

emissions, but of population explosions, with people requiring more food and changing entire landscapes.

Historical climateIce cores from Greenlands ice cap and from deposits on the seabed of the oceans around the world tell us that historically, warm periods occur in the climate at 1000-year intervals,

the period when the Norse lived in Greenland 1000 years ago and grew crops, was the last warm period to influence Greenland.

An important statement regardless of whether one believes that climate changes are affected by mankind or not, the Climate Myth is a significant book for the continued climate debate. It is an informative and educa-tional book and you get the impression the author knows what he is talking about. Although the title of the book leaves no doubt about the authors feelings about the sometimes overheated climate debate, it is far from being fanatical. It is instead a presentation of a former pro-fessors empirical knowledge about a subject which he has clearly spent a lot of time studying.

unge / youth

Salik elsker at spille guitar og klaver og at lave mad. Han er srligt god til pan-dekager. Malik foretrkker at se film og spille online-spil som Counterstrike med andre unge i forskellige lande og blive bedre til engelsk. Flles for de 18-rige tvillinger med efternavnet Johansen olsen er dog den altoverskyggende interesse for dansen.

- Vi kan ikke sidde stille ret lnge ad gangen, og nr vi keder os lidt, s ver vi ogs trin og bevgelser. Vi gr til dans mindst fire timer om ugen, og nr der er opvisninger, ver vi meget mere.

- Det fedeste ved dansen er, nr det lykkes at f de svre tricks til at se lette ud, siger Salik.

- Det er en fed fornemmelse at op-

trde og vise, hvad man kan. Det giver selvtillid, supplerer Malik.

Elsker at optrdetvillingerne er vokset op i Danmark, Qaqortoq og Nuuk. De startede med at danse i fritidsklubben i Qaqortoq. I Nuuk begyndte de at danse i ungdoms-klubben NuIF, og et r p Lunderskov efterskoles danselinje i Danmark gav mod p flere genrer.

tilbage i Nuuk blev de hurtigt en del af NuIFs ezkimovez Crew og Qiajuk Studios performance-gruppe. De op-trder ofte i forskellige sammenhnge fra stort anlagte danseshows i katuaq til flashmobs i Nuuk Center og bnings-showet ved Arctic Winter Games.

Det at danse og optrde er en mde at udtrykke sig p, mener begge brdrene.

- Gennem dansen kan jeg fortlle om mit liv. Jeg kan rigtig godt lide, nr man har god kontakt med publikum. Det er ogs fedt, nr man mder brn, der ser op til n, forklarer Malik.

Synger med n stemmeMaliks favorit-genre er den tempo- og energifyldte jazz. For Salik er det isr moderne dans, der trkker. Men selv

om de har hver deres favorit, s mener de selv, at de bevger sig meget ens, nr de danser.

- Vi er forskellige p mange mder, blandt andet med andre interesser og s videre, men musikalsk, ligner vi hin-anden meget. Vi kan godt lide at synge, og nr vi gr hjem fra fester, har vi en slags ritual med at synge You raise me up. Meget hjt! Vi lyder meget ens, s det er nsten som n, der synger dobbelt det er sjovt, siger Salik.

Biolog og sygeplejerskeLigheden mellem dem stopper, nr de taler om fremtidige karrieredrmme. De har begge planer om at fortstte med at danse og udvikle sig ad den vej, men kun Malik nvner dansen som en egentlig uddannelse.

- efter gymnasiet kunne jeg godt tnke mig at uddanne mig til profes-sionel danser. Senere vil jeg gerne tage en uddannelse som biolog eller noget i den retning og arbejde som forsker, siger Malik.

Salik har ikke gjort sig de store tanker om uddannelsesvalg endnu.

- Jeg kunne forestille mig, at det bliver sygeplejerske eller noget i den retning, slutter Salik.

DANS I bLoDetFrst var det breakdance, siden er repertoiret udvidet til jazz, moderne dans, musical og hip-hop. Dans er en stor del af Salik og Maliks liv

Salik loves to play guitar and piano and to cook. He is especially good at making pancakes. Malik prefers to watch films and play on-line games like Counter-Strike with other young people in different countries to improve his english. Common to both 18-year old twins with the surname Johansen olsen is their overwhelming interest in dancing.

- We cannot sit still for very long and when we get a little bored, we practice steps and movements. We go to dance practice at least four times a week and when there are performances, we prac-tice even more.

- the coolest thing about dancing is that when it works, it makes the difficult tricks look easy, says Salik.

- It is a really great feeling, performing and showing what you can do. It builds self-confidence, adds Malik.

Loves to performthe twins grew up in Denmark, Qaqor-toq and Nuuk. they started dancing in the youth club in Qaqortoq. In Nuuk they danced at the NuIF youth club and a year spent studying dancing at Lunderskov School in Denmark added other dance styles.

back in Nuuk, they quickly became part of NuIFs ezkimovez Crew and Qiajuk Studios performance group. they often perform at different events, from big dance shows in katuaq to flash mobs in Nuuk Centre and the opening show at Arctic Winter Games.

Dancing and performing is a way to express oneself, say both brothers.

- I can tell about my life through my dancing. I really like it, when I connect with the audience. It is also cool when you meet children who look up to you, explains Malik.

Sing with one voiceMaliks favourite genre is up-tempo, energetic jazz. Salik particularly likes modern dance. Although they each have their favourites, they feel that they move in the same way when they dance.

- We are different in many ways including our other interests etc., but musically, we are very alike. We like to sing and when we come home from parties we have a kind of ritual, where we sing You raise me up. Very loud-ly! We sound so similar, that it is almost like one person singing double it is fun, says Salik.

Biologist and nursethe similarity stops when it comes to future career dreams. they both have plans to continue dancing and developing in that direction, but only Malik mentions dance training.

- After high school, I would like to train as a professional dancer. Later, I would like to study biology or something like that and work with research, says Malik.

Salik has not really thought a lot about what he wants to study yet.

- I imagine it could be nursing or something like that, ends Salik.

Der var mange andre resulta-ter end de sportslige ved rets Arctic Winter Games i nuuk

tekst: greenland today

Da Arctic Winter Games (AWG) blev af-holdt i Nuuk i marts i r, blev der sat nye rekorder p mange andre omrder end de sportslige. bespisning, indkvartering, transport og meget andet fungerede

godt, med uvurderlig hjlp fra flere hundrede frivillige.

resultatet var et fantastisk flot arran-gement og et skoleeksempel i planlg-ning, koordinering, kommunikation, information og samarbejde.

Nye stjerner blev tndt p den sportslige stjernehimmel, og de unge sports-udvere optrdte med deres indsats og fokus som gode rollemodeller for andre unge i det arktiske. Men AWG 2016 skabte ogs andre rollemodeller for de unge.

Unge ambassadrerI ugen op til AWG blev 30 unge menne-sker fra Grnland samlet til pilotprojek-tet Inuusuit kivitsisussat. Projektleder Mia Lynge Skifte havde udvalgt unge fra kysten og fra Nuuk til at deltage i projektet. Formlet med projektet var at opbygge unges lederegenskaber og fr- digheder, skabe fllesskab og ruste dem til at kunne reprsentere deres land.

De blev undervist i b.la. service og fri-villighed. De kom ogs ud i erhvervslivet og s, hvordan royal Greenland funge-rer, og de mdte 15 Youth Ambassa- dors (Unge ambassadrer) fra North

West territories. Derovre har man krt et lignende koncept siden 2007 og har undervist en gruppe unge, der efterfl-gende virker som unge ambassadrer under AWG.

Kompetenceudvikling- Vi synes, at det ld som et rigtig godt projekt, og derfor valgte vi at udvikle noget lignende her i Grnland til dette rs AWG, fortller Arnakkuluk Jo kleist, der var Assistant General Manager under AWG 2016.

- Vi vil gerne fremme skolegang blandt brn og unge. Derfor stttede vi dette projekt med at fremme kompe-tencerne hos 30 unge mennesker fra Grnland, fortller Malik Hegelund, salgschef i hjemmemarkedet ved royal Greenland, der har sponsoreret og finansieret hele projektet.

De 30 unge ambassadrer fra Inuu- suit kivitsisussat hber p, at de kan vre med til at inspirere andre unge i Grnland til at udvikle sig selv og tro p deres drmme.

Frivillige og fllesskabHele AWG-ugen var fyldt med liv.

roLLemodeLLer, friviLLige og unge ambassadrer

Jeg tror, at vi kan inspirere unge her i Grnland til at hjlpe som frivillige og vigtigst af alt, tro p deres drmme, siger Angun- nguaq Malik Sethsen, Ung Ambassadr fra Nuuk.

I think we can inspire young people here in Greenland to help as volunteers and, most important of all, to believe in their dreams, says Angunnguaq Malik Sethsen, Youth Ambas- sador from Nuuk.

there were many other results than just those regar-ding sports at the Arctic Win-ter Games in nuuk this year

text: greenland today

When Arctic Winter Games (AWG) was held in Nuuk in March this year, new records were set in other areas than sports. Catering, accommodation, trans-port and much more worked well with indispensable assistance from several hundred volunteers.

the result was a wonderful arrange- ment and a textbook example of plan-ning, coordination, communication, information and cooperation.

New sports stars were found and the young athletes, with their efforts and focus, were good role models for other young people in the Arctic. but AWG 2016 also created other role models for young people.

Young ambassadorsIn the week up to AWG, 30 young people from Greenland were gathered for a pilot project called Inuusuit kivit-sisussat. the project leader, Mia Lynge Skifte, had selected young people from the coast and from Nuuk to take part in a project. the purpose of the project was to build their leader skills, create a community spirit and to prepare them to represent their country.

they had lessons in service and volunteering. they visited companies, saw how royal Greenland operates and they met 15 Youth Ambassadors from the North West territories. over there, a similar concept has existed since 2007, training a group of young people to work as young ambassadors under AWG.

Developing skills- We thought it sounded like a really good project, so we decided to develop something similar here in Greenland for this years AWG, says Arnakkuluk Jo kleist, who was Assistant General Ma-nager for AWG 2016.

- We wanted to promote education among children and young people, so we supported this project by developing the skills of the 30 young people from Greenland, says Malik Hegelund, sales manager for the domestic market at royal Greenland, which has sponsored and financed the entire project.

the 30 young ambassadors from Inuusuit kivitsisussat hope they can help to inspire other young people in Greenland to develop and to believe in their dreams.

Volunteers and community spiritthe entire AWG week was very lively. there were thousands of people in green, blue and purple jackets, everyone smiling to everyone and greeting each other. It felt as if peoples circles had grown 100 fold. Join Feel Jump, as AWGs slogan said. the community spi-rit among the volunteers, participants, hosts, coaches and others in town could be felt everywhere.

the night before the closing cere-mony, many volunteers worked hard with the preparations. they were tired, but kept their spirits up, ate chocolate and got everything ready. the feeling of being a volunteer and being part of the community brought out the best in everyone who worked hard to make it all work. the leaders took the lead and put in a lot of hours

- there were very long days, where we worked into the night, but it was all worth it. I have met so many fantastic people and I would not have missed it for the world, says one of the volun-teers, thea Sandeman Jensen. I feel very fortunate and I am thankful I had the opportunity to be a part of Arctic Winter Games 2016. It was an experi-ence I will never forget, ends a happy volunteer.

en informationstje-neste skal lette mo-biliteten mellem de nordiske lande for bde privatpersoner og sm virksomhedertekst: Mads Nordlund

Nordisk Ministerrd har under deres informationstjeneste oprettet Hallo Norden med kontorer i alle de nordiske landes hovedstder, inklusive Grnland. Her arbejder man p at informere og hjlpe med bl.a. jobsgning, flyt-ning, arbejds- og opholdstil-ladelser, attester, sygehjlp og meget andet.

Hallo Norden i Nuuk har til huse hos NAPA Nordens Institut i Grnlands kontorer i katuaq. Her arbejder en person med at svare p sprgsml p mail og direkte henvendelser. I alt besvarede Hallo Norden over 3.000

foresprgsler i 2015, heraf ca. 10% vedrrende Grn-land.

Skal bne Grnland- Hallo Norden arbejder for at lse generelle problemer vedrrende flytning mellem de nordiske lande, forklarer kitte Witting, der styrer kon-toret i Nuuk.

- Det gr begge veje. Vi fr henvendelser bde fra folk i Grnland, der vil flytte til et andet nordisk land, og folk fra hele Norden, der vil til Grnland. Hallo Norden skal vre med til at bne Grnland.

- Vi vil gerne have flere fra hele Norden til at se mulig- hederne for at arbejde i Grnland.

the Nordic Council of Mini-sters has established Hello Norden as part of their information service with of-fices in all the capitals of the Nordic countries, including Greenland. these offices will provide assistance regarding job applications, re-locating, work and residence permits, licences, medical assistance and much more.

Hello Norden in Nuuk is housed at NAPA the Nordic Institutes Greenland offices in katuaq. Here, there is an employee who answers e-mail queries and helps

people who call in person. In all, the office responded to 3,000 queries in 2015, of which 10% were about Greenland.

Opening Greenland-Hello Norden works to solve general problems asso-ciated with moving between the Nordic countries, explains kitte Witting, who runs the office in Nuuk.

- It goes both ways. We get inquiries from people in Greenland who want to move to another Nordic country and from people

from all Nordic countries who want to come to Greenland. Hello Norden will help to open Greenland.

- We want more people from all the Nordic countries to see what opportunities there are for working in Greenland.

- We have quite a few young Nordic people who come to study in Greenland at the university etc. It is a way of giving something back, for the many who have studied outside Greenland.

- It is good for Greenlands own people to study or work

in other Nordic countries. this is why we encourage young people, who may not be very good at english, to try to live in a Nordic country.

- they make inquiries here about many different things and we help them to find answers. For example about residence permits, telephone, bank, bringing dogs, the vali-dity of driving licences etc.

- Lots of good, practical questions. If we cannot answer, we can usually refer to someone who can.

- In addition, we work with the Greenlandic Houses in

Anders Zeeb er midt i 30erne og uddannet tmrer. Som ivrkstter har han kombineret sin passion for tr og mbler i sin forretning mbelvrkstedet MudaHula

Prget af familienAnders kommer oprindeligt fra uum-mannaq. Han levede mange r i Dan-mark, fr han kom tilbage til Grnland, og slog sig ned i Nuuk med sin kone og parrets to brn.

brnene har stor betydning for fir-maet, for Anders lavede sit frste bord til datteren. Desuden har brnene Liam

og Norah, klenavnene Muda og Hula, som er blevet til navnet p mbelfirmaet.

- brnene har givet firmaet navnet, og deres mor har stttet mig meget med firmaet, hvor hun bl.a. hjlper med kommunikation, inspiration og god energi, forklarer Anders.

MudaHula I mbelvrkstedet designes og fabri-keres mbler med bl.a. ovntrret tr og genbrugeligt materiale som f.eks. drivtmmer. Der er ikke to af mblerne, der er ens, hver enkelt er blevet hvlet, pudset og evt. olieret.

- De produkter, jeg laver, er lidt som kunst, fordi hvert mbel er unik, for-tller Anders. Hvis jeg finder et stykke tr i byen eller p stranden, s forsger jeg at bruge det.

Han laver alt fra spise- og sofaborde til stole og skrebrtter. Desuden fr han tit nye udfordringer fra kunderne, der sprger, om han kan lave et eller andet specielt, de mangler.

- Lige nu slger jeg flest mbler her i Nuuk, men de kan ogs bestilles gen-nem Facebook, slutter mbelsnedkeren.

MudaHula


Anders Zeeb is in his mid 30s and a professional carpenter. As an entre-preneur, he has combined his passion for wood with his furniture making business MudaHula

Influenced by familyAnders originally came from uumman-naq. then he lived in Denmark for many years before returning to Greenland and settling in Nuuk with his wife and the couples two children.

the children are important to the business, because Anders made his first table for his daughter. Furthermore the children, Liam and Norah, have the nicknames Muda and Hula, which have been used as the name of the furniture company.

- the company has been named after the children and their mother has given me a lot of support with the business, helping with e.g. communication, inspi-ration and good energy, says Anders.

MudaHulaIn the workshop, furniture is designed and made using oven-dried wood and reusable material such as driftwood. No two pieces of furniture are the same; each one has been planed, polished and sometimes oiled.

- the products I make are a little like art, because each piece of furniture is unique, says Anders. If I find a piece of wood on the beach, I try to use it.

He makes everything from dining tables and coffee tables to chairs and carving boards. He also finds new chal-lenges when customers ask if he can make something special.

- At the moment I sell most of my furniture here in Nuuk, but it can also be ordered through Facebook, ends the furniture maker.

Selvstyret, Qaasuitsup kommunia og den filantropiske forening realdania indgik i juli 2015 en partnerskabsaftale om at skabe et Isfjordscenter i Ilulissat.

tanken var et center, som kunne styrke den allerede voksende strm af turister fra hele verden, som i dag findes i Ilulissat. P lidt lngere sigt skal den gede turisme skabe nye arbejdspladser, indtgter og udvikling til byen.

- en styrkelse af turismeudviklingen str hjt p Naalakkersuisuts agenda. Det er derfor en stor glde at se Isfjords-

centret tage form. Partnerskabet med realdania er et meget vsentligt bidrag til turismeudviklingen i de kommende r, siger Naalakkersuisoq for erhverv, Arbejdsmarked, Handel og udenrigsan-liggender, Vittus Qujaukitsoq.
