Arctic Art & Culture: #1 June 2015

Arctic Art & Culture: No. 1, June 2015 is a richly focused publication devoted to the artistic traditions, cultural heritage, and contemporary creative life of Russia’s Arctic and northern peoples. Compiled by S. S. Ignatyeva and published in Yakutsk by Agiki in 2015, this inaugural issue brings together perspectives on the region’s distinctive visual culture, indigenous traditions, crafts, and artistic expression. Set against the dramatic cultural landscape of the Far North, the volume offers an engaging glimpse into the ways Arctic communities preserve their heritage while continuing to develop new forms of cultural expression. A particularly interesting title for readers of northern ethnography, indigenous art, Siberian culture, and Russian regional history.
