Kalaallit Inuit Performance - A Re-Membering Seminar organized by University of Copenhagen on 31 March 2025
This one-day seminar on Kalaallit Inuit Performance. Isumasioqatigiinneq eqqaasitsisoq – A re-membering seminar brought 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. Phd-student Kuluk Helms participated with a performance lecture named ”Balance is a Moving Target.“ She also participated in a conversation on decolonizing strategies for remembering embodied memory and indigenous knowledge with Heilmann Blind, actress and dancer, Dine Arnannguaq Fenger Lynge, daily manager in Dáiddadállu - Sámi Artist Network, and Naja Dyrendom Graugaard, associate professor at the University of Copenhagen.
