Ivikkisartoq Kingulleq The Last Grass Seamstress

This short documentary chronicles the remarkable life of Marie Josefsen, an 82-year-old Indigenous South Greenlandic grass-sewing specialist. Growing up, Marie was surrounded by her mother and aunts, who sewed lyme grass into everyday objects. Her father and uncles collected the grass on hunting islands, transporting it home on their kayaks. Having spent decades practicing and refining her skills in grass sewing, Marie now fears she may be the last to hold this ancestral art.
