British Museum Arctic Exhibition
The British Museum has opened a new exhibition in London, Arctic: Culture and Climate. I’m excited to be a part of this new exhibition in a significant way, having contributed the primary exhibition photographs and my short film Anaiyyun: Prayer for the Whale.
Much of the public perception of the Arctic is based on outdated and colonial ideas of an unexplored and desolate land. That’s certainly not the case, as the Arctic is full of life and community. I spoke with curator Peter Loovers of the exhibition at length and was impressed by his team’s deep understanding of the complex issues involved in the modern Arctic. The exhibition itself is an introduction to the Arctic, and they have done a great article with the basics.

If you find yourself in between April and August, I recommend stopping in to take it in! There’s a lot to see, ranging from the usual museum artifacts to all kinds of multimedia and experiences that will take you closer to this amazing region that is so dear to my heart.

Congrats and WOW! The British Museum! In your wildest dreams, did you imagine you’d be doing what you’re doing with such success? I’m honored to have played my djembe with you at a jam session in Patrick Farneman’s living room some years back.

I will make a trip into town to see this exhibition… maybe towards the end of April. If any friends would like to meet up and go together that would be fun.
