Kalaallit Inuit Performance

Welcome to a one-day seminar hosted by Art as Forum, University of Copenhagen on Kalaallit Inuit Performance. Isumasioqatigiinneq eqqaasitsisoq – A re-membering seminar brings together younger and elder Kalaallit and Inuit artists and academics to remember and present together on their terms: from the existence and banishment of Indigenous traditions during and after Danish colonial rule, over the Tuukkaq theatre in Fjaltring and festivals in the Arctic, to contemporary decolonizing performances. The purpose is to gather different practices and traditions, reflect on how they have been taken up from different sides, and how they can be remembered in decolonizing ways – in academia and beyond.
