Permafrost Archive
Permafrost Archive is an iterative curatorial research project. Following the layered structure of permafrost, it grows one layer per week. I understand soil, rock, ice, sediments and gas as material portals, directing my thinking over twelve weeks.
Mimicking the permafrost, this archive grows from bottom to the top, in uneven layers. Refusing the datified land visualization practices, I use my own (imperfect) drawings to visualize the permafrost layers and create portals for my thinking.
Permafrost stretches across continents, creating material intimacies between land-based struggles. Following the permafrost’s translocality, this archive brings together knowledges and practices, shaped by the Indigenous relationship to lands and waters.
