Challenging the colonial narratives surrounding the Netflix film Against the Ice, this personal, editorial project by a present-day descendant opens up to cultural and historical inclusion by broadening the storytelling.

The new Netflix film Against the Ice is based on the adventures of a Danish polar explorer, captain, and colonizer in Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), who marked his agenda and achievements in books and maps that contributed to the production of 'collective memory and the dominant history of Nordic colonialism. This book is designed and edited by Gudrun Havsteen-Mikkelsen, the great-granddaughter of this same explorer, in collaboration with designer Anna Bierler.

Combining visual and textual contributions, archival material, dialogues, and controversies, Snowblindness – Let's talk about storytelling, colonialism, Netflix, and my great grandfather presents new grounds for engagement with the polar explorers' stories, whether these are visually, orally, or textually transferred. The result is a generous and vulnerable reader, which weaves information from a multiplicity of sources and places particular emphasis on collaboration, trust, and questioning.

Our lives resonate through storytelling. The writing and rewriting of history, family stories handed down through generations, the inclusion of plural perspectives and subsequent broadening of conversations; our identities are made by narratives colliding and shifting.

In Snowblindness, colonial narratives are challenged through such storytelling, encouraging a questioning of history, ethics, and aesthetics.
