let’s all be lichen is an Inukjuamiut’s response to 100 years of our namesake’s seminal film*. Featuring the works of largely circumpolar (Inuk, Sámi, Greenlandic, Evenk and Sakha) filmmakers, the series weaves together works by artists who have harnessed their own power and distinct voice through the moving image. The series shimmers with personal histories, the spiritual anthropocene, questions of agency, memory, and urbanization, as well as a fierce and love-filled reclaiming of the arctic imaginary.
