SEDNA. Myth and Change in the Arctic.
20 years ago, the sea goddess Sedna first appeared at NONAM. Now she is back - as the main character of the anniversary exhibition about art, culture and climate change in the Arctic. With the Cerny Inuit Collection, NONAM celebrates 20 years in the Seefeld and 60 years of the museum.
Sedna is one of the most important figures in the cosmos of the Inuit and other polar cultures. As the mother of the sea creatures, she decides whether people go hungry or get full. Her myths and legends are as diverse as the people who tell them. In art, she sometimes appears as a hunting ruler, at other times caught in a fishing net. She stands for mythical times as well as for the great challenges of the present.
