Glacial blue ice from the Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) Ice Sheet will be transformed into a reverential sculpture, a reliquary, traveling the world as a frozen ambassador, representing the interests of the Arctic environment and the Indigenous peoples who reside there.

Greenlandic Inuit men hunt and fish. Greenlandic Inuit women cook and sew. And when they sew, they use seal skin and polar bear fur and caribou. In Ilulissat the women elders gather every Thursday night for sewing and gossip and baked goods. Are their granddaughters learning the old ways?
