title
Kulusuk
The small Island of Kulusuk is located on the East Coast of Greenland, in the municipality of Sermersooq. Its population only has about 300 inhabitants.
The sea freezes in winter, forming the ice pack, and Kulusuk is attached to the great island of Greenland. At that time, you can travel on sleds until the sea reopens and the ice pack separates.
In the middle of the landscape, among snow and icebergs, the strong colors of their houses stand out, to be easily recognized by their inhabitants when the snow covers them with a white blanket. Formerly the color of the houses served to differentiate the uses, the hospitals were yellow, and the black police stations.
Her current work focuses on communities that maintain a strong connection with nature in their way of life, and on highlighting the need to conserve our planet's unique natural habitats.
Therefore, since 2016, she has carried out her work in the Arctic, one of most inhospitable and threatened parts of the world. She has been living alongside Nenets, Sami and Inuit, groups who maintain a strong connection with nature in their way of life.
