You are all most welcome to join us for a
Kaffemik at
Shetland Museum & Archives, Lerwick on Saturday 12th December 2009, 2-4pm.
This event shall serve to open SIKURLUK, a group exhibition by artists Jacob Bee, Hamer Dodds, Erin Gleason, Melissa MacRobert and Julia Martin.
Kaffemik is a Danish term for a Greenlandic social gathering around a cup of coffee to celebrate occasions and exchange news. The artists shall be on hand for an open dialogue with guests to talk about their fieldwork in Greenland, the projects that have grown from there, and the showcased works themselves.
In May 2008, the group took part in a research trip to the mouth of the Jacobshavn glacier in Ilulissat, north-west Greenland, with internationally acclaimed artist Elizabeth Ogilvie as part of her ongoing arctic research and International Polar Year project.
