Outdoor Photo Exhibition – Portraits of Women: Beyond the Stones | Cyprus ☺️

From today until 26 June, the exhibition will be on display in the park beneath Eleftherias Square in Nicosia, Cyprus. The official opening will take place on 29 May during the Summit Networking Event, with representatives from Europa Nostra and ALIPH.

This inspiring exhibition celebrates women who work tirelessly — as professionals and volunteers — to protect cultural heritage threatened by conflict, climate change and natural disasters.

Architects, archaeologists, museum curators, artisans, conservators, site guardians and art historians stand on the frontlines of heritage preservation, safeguarding not only monuments, museums, religious buildings and collections, but also our shared intangible cultural heritage.

Their expertise, dedication and courage reflect the resilience of humanity and the enduring power of culture.
The exhibition features eight remarkable women, including our dear colleague Inge Bisgaard.

In the framework of the European Cultural Heritage Summit 2026 in Nicosia, ALIPH – International alliance for the protection of heritage and Europa Nostra will present the…

🦭 This unique type of paint, often made locally by homeowners, was perfectly suited for the harsh Arctic climate. Made primarily from seal blubber and resin to minimize the smell, it creates a weather-resistant, matte surface that actively repels rain and moisture—causing water to literally bead off. This natural oil effectively protects wood and masonry from deteriorating.

👩‍🍳 Staff at the museum have experimented with this old tradition, including the 1936 recipe by Phillip Rosendahl: Mix 2 kg of blubber with 300 g of crushed resin and approximately 1 kg of English red pigment.

Why did people choose blubber paint?
🏠 Durability: It provides a longer lifespan and improved durability for wood and masonry (at least 200 years), resulting in fewer damages such as cracks, splits, rot, and fungal decay.
📈 Economic: It is cheap and effective with a long lifespan and low material cost.
♻️ Eco-friendly: It has a lower environmental impact, with no toxic substances.
We recommend making your own paint as a high-quality, budget-friendly alternative.

🎙 On April 17, 2026, our colleague Frederik Fuuja Larsen was interviewed on KNR Radio (Nunatta Nipaa) to discuss the Greenland National Museum and Archives' (NKA) plans for the upcoming summer.

☀️ Thanks to more favorable weather conditions across the country, late spring through early autumn is the busiest time of year for NKA. We use this seasonal window to carry out various field projects, including archaeological excavations and site documentation, and to perform specialized research in specific regions.

📻 You can listen to the interview here in Kalaallisut/Greenlandic (the interview is located at timestamp 17:13 - 28:35).
