South Greenland was honoured with a cultural UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017, called KUJATAA. In a nutshell, KUJATAA honours an arctic agricultural tradition across two time periods. It started in the late 10th century when Erik the Red and Norse Vikings arrived to this region and named it "Greenland". Then the era took a nearly 400-year pause from the early 1400's until the late 1700's. Finally, in 1781, Anders & Tuperna Olsen and the local inuit population revived agriculture and specifically sheep farming, and it continues to be central to the identity of South Greenland to this day.
This film was created for and launched at the QANGA Exhibit at the Palais de Rumine in Lausanne, Switzerland. The Greenlandic artist Konrad Nuka Godtfredsen is highlighted at the exhibit, including several of his drawings that depict KUJATAA, South Greenland's UNESCO World Heritage Site. This film accompanies his drawings. The exhibit will be available from 13 May 2022 through 29 January 2023.
