New article is published in GW Magazine on Arctic research conducted by GWU scholars. It highlights several projects with ArtSLInK team members, including Frozen Commons, Informal Roads and MUST.
ArtSLInK team members made presentations of artistic works, community engagement and Domesticating Landscapes projects at the 2021 Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) Annual Community Meeting (8-12 November, 2021). For the first time, conference included Art Highlights as a part of the program to highlight and share art-based research or education/outreach programming. We used our experience of work within ArtSLInK approach to emphasize the need in decolonization practices that encompass simultaneous, equitable, co-productive engagement of science, arts and place-based local and Indigenous Knowledge systems. While the first presentation gave an overview of ArtSLInK projects, team member James Temte in his presentation had focus on community engagement with stronger emphasis on communities. Finally, the presentation on Domesticating Landscapes was more focused on ArtScience collaboration.
