Today we were delighted to welcome the Danish Ambassador, René Dinesen and his partner Camilla Dinesen, along with the Danish Vice-Consulate, Wendy Maughan, for a tour of our exhibition Pia Arke: Silences and Stories and its accompanying Film Programme. Both exhibitions examine the colonial history and complex political and cultural relationship between Denmark and Greenland. Pia Arke: Silences and Stories has been curated by John Hansard Gallery’s Head of Programme (Senior Curator), Ros Carter, and is presented in collaboration with KW Institute of Contemporary Art, Berlin @kwinstitutefcontemporaryart, and in close cooperation with the Pia Arke Estate. KW will open their partner exhibition, Pia Arke: Arctic Hysteria, curated by Sofie Krogh Christensen, in July 2024. An extensive new publication, Pia Arke, designed by @daly_lyon, has been co-published by John Hansard Gallery and KW, and is available from our Gallery Shop @johnhansardgalleryshop. Pia Arke: Silences and Stories is on show at John Hansard Gallery until 11 May 2024.

FINAL WEEK It’s the last week to catch Pia Arke: Silences and Stories, the UK’s first major survey of Danish-Greenlandic artist Pia Arke (1958–2007). Seldom exhibited outside the Scandinavian context, this exhibition of Arke’s work is both timely and long overdue. It asserts Pia Arke as a significant international figure within both artistic practice and post-colonial discourse. 

Alongside this exhibition is an accompanying film programme which examines environmental issues and colonial legacy within present-day Greenland.
 Silences and Stories is curated by Ros Carter in collaboration with @kwinstitutefcontemporaryart, Berlin, and is on show at John Hansard Gallery until 11 May 2024. 
The partner exhibition, Pia Arke: Arctic Hysteria, will be shown at KW in Summer 2024.
