Travelling exhibition Hunters of the North
Is a project, presenting the three countries Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands, who have based their living on hunting and for ages devloped a hunting culture and continue to do so, although they as a part of the western world are highly technologically developed countries.
The project is a travelling exhibition focusing on hunting. The exhibition will open in the Nordic House of the Faroes June 15th, 2002. Then the travelling exhibition will be taken to Sumbergh Head in the Shetlands, Dublin in Irland, Reykjavik and Akureyri in Iceland, Nuuk in Greenland, St. Johns in New Foundland and Aberdeen, Scotland.
With hunting culture in the three countries as a geographical frame, the exhibition uses these three angles of approach:
· artistic works of art on the theme of hunting
· ethnographic exhibits from museums showing historic ways of hunting
· technologic tools developed on basis of a west nordic hunting culture
