Inuk

As an Inuk from northern Quebec, she said it "feels weird" even for her to knock and wait for a response.

“Everyone is very excited about how it's going to be,” says Maren-Louise Paulsen Kristensen, co-owner and manager of Inuk Hostel.

Inuuteq Storch, the first Greenlandic and Inuk artist to represent Denmark at the international art festival, will erect a sign reading “Kalaallit Nunaat,” or “Greenland” above the pavilion’s entrance.

“It’s that consciousness that when we eat something, it comes from somewhere… our behavior has consequences. The Inuk word sila is not easily translated into English—it can mean weather, climate, spirit, wind, consciousness. ������ that points to is that it’s all connected,” she says.

At the end of December 2022, there were 45,775 asylum seekers inUK hotels according to government figures.
