Tributary: A Course in Interruptions
Sound Installation at Riverside Park
“As a Yukon settler, I—like many other settlers—have often viewed my relocation to the North as a new beginning. What started as a journey to collect an archive of “how I got here” stories has turned into an exploration of transplantation and belonging. At the same time, this sound project seeks to complicate the form, accessibility, and method of archival collections by considering the history of place as nonlinear and fluid.”
Viewers were invited to spend time under a tent at Riverside Park where a speaker played the audio segment on a loop throughout the weekend.
