This Photographer Pairs New And Old Images To Converse With Greenland's Colonial Past
Photographer Minik Bidstrup, who is of Greenlandic Inuit background, seeks to confront the country's long colonial history from an indigenous perspective: "We are still here in the land we call home."
This July marks 300 years since Lutheran missionary Hans Egede arrived in Greenland, an event that signified the beginning of Denmark's colonial rule over the island.
Egede was a Danish-Norwegian missionary who traveled there in 1721 hoping to convert a group of white Europeans whose ancestors had settled in Greenland hundreds of years earlier. Unbeknownst.
