March 28 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Live on Zoom + In-Person Viewing at the Museum of Danish America

In this timely conversation, Martine Lind Krebs explores the complex colonial history between Denmark and Greenland through the story of the Greenland Monument in Copenhagen. Erected in the 1930s, when Greenland was still a Danish colony and Norway had annexed parts of Eastern Greenland, the monument remains standing in central Copenhagen, even as other colonial monuments have been removed or defaced.

Through the lens of this monument, Martine reveals how Denmark has viewed Greenland over the past century. She also shares the powerful story of Greenlandic politicians’ protests at the International Court of Justice in The Hague and highlights how Greenlandic leaders, activists, and artists have continually challenged Danish narratives about their land.

This webinar offers historical insight, contemporary relevance, and an opportunity to reflect on memory, identity, and representation.

Attend live via Zoom or join us at the museum for an in-person viewing experience.

This webinar is sponsored by Danish board member Erik Nørkjær and a dedicated member of the MoDA board.
