‘North by Nuuk’ showcases remarkable environment and people of Greenland

__news posts

In the 1930s, New York artist, explorer and adventurer Rockwell Kent sailed to Greenland and lived there for several years, documenting the majestic landscape and the strong, industrious Inuit people who lived there.

In 2016, New York artist Denis Defibaugh spent more than a year in Greenland, visiting the same coastal communities that Kent did more than 80 years earlier.
Defibaugh’s celebrated photographic exhibition of the journey, “North by Nuuk: Greenland After Rockwell Kent,” is now on display in the Anna Lamar Switzer Center for Visual Arts on Pensacola State College’s Pensacola campus.
The exhibition runs through March 10. An artist lecture and reception were held on Jan. 26.
