Initiative Award 2012
Greenland
"Speech for the initiative award by Poul Hansen, Sermersooq Municipality
I have the pleasure, on behalf of the finance committee, of presenting the second Initiative Award.
The award goes to graphic designer Lis Stender (Liv Aurora Jensen). You have created a completely unique design, which has been developed into a utility item with great utility value that we can all take into our daily lives.
Dishes, towels, bed linen, tajarutit, pillows to name just a few of your products.
And your urge to communicate has no limits. You have written books where you can learn how to knit Greenlandic tajarutit according to your beautiful design, you have designed stamps to support cancer patients. Recently, together with other artists, you have disseminated Inuit art in Paris.
You have managed to develop, as you express it yourself, "a modern Greenlandic cultural design. For our Inuit society should not be seen as an open-air museum, but we must retell our culture and continue to renew it."
That is exactly what you have accomplished.
With your design, you convey the very soul of Greenlandic culture, simplicity with a majestic expression, in an iconic language.
No one doubts that there are years of work, insight and thoroughness behind developing a design of such high quality. With your design, everyday items take on a whole new meaning. It is worthy of an award.
You, Lis Stender, have succeeded in cultivating a completely new business area that has huge development potential. It is both visionary and innovative.
We will hopefully see your design in hotels, institutions and right into our homes.
With your design, you combine the small, everyday things in the most beautiful way to rise to a universal expression, where the whole world is the target audience.
We couldn't get a better ambassador for our culture.
Congratulations on the award and thanks for the design!"
