Audiovisual project documentation of the international residence chain
The Right To Be Cold – Circumpolar Perspectives was a cross-border, interdisciplinary project focusing on the Arctic and Boreal regions: It negotiated questions of indigenous rights, ecology, climate justice and culture. At the centre of the project was a circumpolar relay of residencies carried out in 2021 and 2022.
The Right to be Cold was a joint project of the Goethe-Institutes in Helsinki, Montreal, Novosibirsk and Oslo. The title comes from the long battle of Inuit to have their rights linked to climate change. The book of the same name by Sheila Watt-Cloutier (2015, Allen Lane Publication), testifies of her pioneering work in connecting climate change to human rights. Okalik Eegeesiak, Former Chair of the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) used the expression in her discourse at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change COP 21 December 3, 2015 in Paris, France.
Participating artists : Marie-Andrée Gill (Canada), Marije Jenssen (Norway), Tanja Maria Koistinen (Finland), Tatiana Filippova (Russia), Svetlana Romanova (Russia), Nancy (Niap) Saunders (Canada).
The films, created from the residency relay, will be projected from Feb 1 to Mar 31 in our library during our opening hours and on screens in the windows of the Goethe-Institut Montréal (1626 boul. St-Laurent, Montréal, Québec, H2X 2T1) from February 1 to March 31, 2022 - from sunset to midnight.
