Breathtaking infrared cinematography and a hypnotic Bicep score pull audiences into the Arctic, where Indigenous artists reckon with culture, colonialism and a rapidly changing world.

TAKKUUK, meaning 'look closely' in Inuktitut, was co-created with seven Indigenous collaborators across Greenland and Sápmi as part of the EarthSonic initiative. Specially built infrared cameras transform familiar Arctic landscapes into something strange and otherworldly, while the featured artists open up about what it means to hold onto language, land and identity when so much conspires against continuity. Through sound, storytelling and performance, they show how culture endures under external pressure, including accelerating climate change. The result is a genuinely collaborative work that sits somewhere between documentary realism and artistic abstraction, giving Indigenous voices and knowledge systems the space to speak on their own terms. Immersive, striking and unlike anything else in the programme.
