Dekolonisering af dansk-kalaallit samarbejde(r)

In this article, the authors examine the collaborative exhibition process behind the exhibition Inuit Dimensions in the exhibition space rum46 in 2024. By employing a collaborative autoethnographic approach, the authors critically reflect on the power dynamics inherent in their partnership. The study identifies nuances of the complex notion of authority throughout the collaboration, from institutional framing and artistic decision-making to public engagement. The authors highlight how relationality and trust can provide a shared experience of “Two-Eyed Seeing” alongside a deeper understanding of the “Borderlands” within and between their positions. Relational accountability is thus a key factor in the ongoing efforts to decolonize art practices and disrupt neocolonial hierarchies in collaborations between Kalaallit Nunaat and Denmark. Ultimately, the authors call for continued critical reflection in cross-cultural collaborations to ensure equitable and reciprocal partnerships.
