Short info
Work
Mossin's PhD project, which is part of the research project Visions of the Arctic, deals with visual representations of Greenland and Greenlanders through a period of four hundred years. The project emphasizes Norway's role in the colonization of the country, a story that is told through readings of three portrait paintings of Inuit individuals from 1654, 1753 and the 1920s respectively. Greenlandic contemporary art, especially Julie Edel Hardenberg's art activism, acts as the project's lens through which she tries to understand bodily and mental manifestations of colonization today.
Teaching
In addition to her research, Mossin teaches museum history, as well as modern and contemporary art at both bachelor's and master's level. During the fall 2024 semester, she is the responsible for the course DKT100 - introduction to art, theater and digital culture.
