The theme of the exhibition is based on connections.
A common feature of all the works is that they concretely include Greenlandic nature as a strong contrast to the urban Copenhagen district. At a time when our ecosystem is under pressure and human diversity in many places creates strife, the works remind us of the raw beauty of nature and its connection to ourselves, others, and create reflection on us, our present and our chances of survival in the future.
X Unlimited offers a dignified look into Greenland’s current cultural production directly in Copenhagen’s public space with a focus on the connections between Greenland and Denmark, between each other and to the nature around us.
