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.

Paninnguaq Jensen



Paninnguaq is a traditional Greenlandic Inuit throat singer apprentice. Photographed on stage of Ilulissat’s Kulturikkut, where she has performed a number of times.


Christian missionaries nearly wiped out women Greenlandic Inuit throat singing. But not completely, as it is having a resurgence with young Greenlandic Inuit women today. Paninnguaq is glamorous and modern, yet she recently posted the seal she hunted to Instagram. Can the old ways and the ways both survive?
