OVERVIEW

Re-Locate Kivalina is a collective of ethnographic artists and Inupiaq Alaska Natives working to help the Inupiaq people, some of the world's first climate refugees, prepare for a community-led and culturally specific relocation. It is building artistic and web-based platforms to raise issues, support community discussion, encourage partnerships, and create spaces where the people in Kivalina can share original media about their lives.
