This symposium celebrates the opening of the SMK’s first major exhibition of work by Kalaaleq Inuk artist Jessie Kleemann. Sialussuartut/Like a Cloudburst honors Kleemann’s efforts to expand the field of possibility for Greenlandic artists throughout her esteemed, four decade-long career.

Taking its point of departure in her experimental practice, the symposium aims to spark renewed dialogue about contemporary Greenlandic art, embodied action, and the politics and aesthetics of decolonization.
