This is a series of six photographic portraits paired with short audio stories, and each one is from a different Arctic nation. We call them audiographs, and they are also permanently installed on a ship called the National Geographic Endurance in a polar art exhibit called Change, curated by artist Zaria Forman.
In this exhibit, you will encounter each person through two different media, both of which are styled to acknowledge our presence and participation as visitors and storytellers. Our work confronts preconceptions about “faraway” places by sharing personal stories from real people while recognizing that we, the artists, also change the stories by re-telling them.
