Greenland. Everything changes

Rapidly melting ice sheets, booming tourism, three new airports under construction, ever-larger waste heaps, international investors in search of mineral resources, and a confident Greenland developing its Indigenous identity and independence. Greenland’s transformation is intense, turbulent, and contradictory. But what do the people there think of it all? What does this teach us about the world we live in? How do we deal with the dilemmas and contradictions? What scares us about it and what opportunities are at stake? ‘Greenland. Everything changes’ stands for a world that also exists in Switzerland and challenges us.

Film exhibition with Greenland sound

Immersive projections serve as a counterpoint to around thirty filmed interviews with Greenlanders. A diverse assortment of figures including a fisherman, an actress, a politician, an airport manager, a student, a hunter, and an influencer tell of their experiences and personal opinions about Greenland. As a visitor, you choose which voices you want to listen to via headphones. The exhibition dispenses with commentary and judgement. ‘Facts & Figures’ are concentrated in a separate room - and in the accompanying magazine. The finale is dedicated to the lively Greenlandic music scene. Dancing allowed!
