In this exhibition, contemporary artist Ivínguak' Stork Høegh's (b. 1982) digital photo collages engage in dialogue with older works by several female Danish artists who travelled to Greenland before 1940. These artists, Christine Deichmann (1869-1945), Oda Isbrand (1904-1987), Ellen Locher Thalbitzer (1883-1956), Emilie Demant Hatt (1873-1958) and Jette Bang (1914-1964), have been overlooked in Danish art history for many years. Their depictions of women, children and everyday life challenge the dominant, masculine and colonial representation of Greenland. The works of the female artists open a crack to other narratives than the dominant colonial narrative of Greenland, as it has been described and archived with Danish masculine eyes. Instead, the female artists' works show people who are not just looked at and described, but who look back - at the artist, at the Dane and at us as viewers. They look at us - as we see them.

The exhibition is curated by Laila Lund Altinbas and Stine Lundberg Hansen and has been realised with works on loan from the Greenland National Museum & Archives, the Arctic Institute, Kunsten Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg, Museum Salling, University of Copenhagen and Galleri Thordals. 

The exhibition project is part of the Museum of Religious Art's exhibition programme in 2025: Views on and from Greenland, which also includes the exhibition Hans Lynge - Passion is needed! which will be on display from summer 2025.
