Kuannersuit; Kvanefjeld: the Mountain that became the focus for democratic discussion about Greenland’s Future’

An evolving map by Joshua Portway and Lise Autogena and their collaborators, presenting interconnected artefacts, videos, images and texts that refract the different facets of the complex debate surrounding the construction of a rare earth/uranium mine near the town of Narsaq in South Greenland. Fragments of interviews, international treaties, biological radiation monitoring samples, children's toys, tweets from the president of the United States, radioactive rocks, real time stock tickers and other artefacts create a swirling fractal narrative about a mountain that is simultaneously at the very edge of the world and at the very centre of it.
