Glimmer: From the Outskirts of Greenland

A timely account of Ilona Wiśniewska’s experience living with the Inughuit communities of northern Greenland, written with compassion and investigative rigour. ‘On the horizon of the frozen sea there is no trace of light.’ In the darkness of the polar night, writer and photographer Ilona Wiśniewska travels to two of the most remote settlements in northern Greenland, where distant geopolitics and the very present climate crisis threaten the traditions and culture of the indigenous people. There, she is welcomed into the homes of the Inughuit community and shares their days, their rituals, their conversations, bearing witness to a way of life increasingly at risk. Intertwining arresting photography and storytelling, Glimmer: From the Outskirts of Greenland explores the stark beauty of the polar landscape, and the lives of the people who call it home.
