Taseralik Culture Center, Cultural center in Sisimiut, Greenland
The Taseralik Culture Center is a modern building located on the shore of Nalunnguarfik lake, offering exhibition spaces, a café, and multiple performance areas. Its main hall seats around 250 people and is designed to host concerts, film screenings, theatrical productions, and community events.
The center opened in 2008 as the second major cultural institution in Greenland, following the earlier establishment of Katuaq in the capital. This opening strengthened cultural infrastructure in the western part of the country.
The center serves as a gathering place where local artists perform and visitors experience music, theater, and visual art throughout the year. It functions as a community hub where people showcase creative work and celebrate their shared artistic traditions.
The location on the lakeshore makes it easy to find and access, and it includes a café where you can grab refreshments before or after events. Check ahead about what is happening during your visit, as programming changes with the seasons.
Its name comes from the Greenlandic language and means 'place of the souls', reflecting a deep connection between the building and local identity. This naming choice shows how significant the institution is for people as a gathering point for their artistic and personal expression.
