A multimodal collaboration between artists, writers, and scholars. This piece emerged from an expedition to the Arctic archipelago as part of the Arctic Circle Residency in Autumn 2022. Curated by Hester Blum, Candace Jensen, and Jacinda Russell.

An international curatorial project featuring 23 artists, writers, and their collaborators from over 6 countries, representing a diverse reflection on their shared experience in Svalbard during The Arctic Circle Residency in October 2022. The exhibition included manifold responses to the unique ecosystem and cultural significance of the Svalbard archipelago; the complex realities of survival, residency & tourism there; and the mythic significance of the Polar North in its symbolism and beauty. The work grapples with questions about belonging, climate change, temporality, human impact on the land, and the privilege of stepping foot in such a remarkable place.
