Greenland residency

Slow time - Fast time








 

I have just returned from a research residency in West Greenland during April/May, living at Oqaatsut, a remote and weather-exposed village near Disko bay. 
I  kept a Blog during my residency, so If you would like to see what I was doing click on the link below

         who are collaborating with me on the project
