“Honorable Mention”. This is Ida. She is seven years old and born in Greenland. A year ago her mother, Marie, decided to move to Denmark in search of an easier life and to give her daughter everything that she never had, but even though the two countries are tied historically, the two cultures are very different and they have no danish friends or any strong connections to Denmark. In Denmark, Greenlanders are seen as second class citizens, drunks and socially challenged. This photo is part of an on-going series, that is trying to show a different side to the greenlandish minority in Denmark. Photo location: Aarhus, Denmark.
