The Ice Machine of Negative Capability

Using both the oral tradition in Arctic Indigenous cultures and the deployment of images of disappearing global ice, Joan Kane, writer and theorist, will read poems from her most recent publication, Dark Traffic, with the projected video work, Ice Machine, by North Atlantic Triennial Down North artist Justin Levesque. This performance invites us to consider how our assumptions of the changing Arctic are formed through the digital creation of new ice and through the reading and recitation of Inupiaq poetry. Registration is encouraged.
