Can you talk to your grandmother about colonialism? Louise’s grandparents moved to Nuuk in the 1960s, at a time when the Danish government was trying to ‘Danicise’ the Inuit people. As Danish school teachers, they were promised generous salaries and exciting adventures. Grandmother Bodil's images show happy children and beautiful nature, but Louise becomes aware of a story outside of the family archive.
