Living Relations and Epigenetic Memories – Collaborative Imaginaries in Nomadic Reindeer Worlds
Artist Talk by Cluster Member Emilia Tikka at Conference »Memories of Tomorrow«
Cluster Associated Member Emilia Tikka presents the research-driven collaborative art/science project called Johtingeaidnu – The Path Within, and its exploration of memory, drawing from bioscience research on transgenerational epigenetic memories and the understanding of memory as place-based in the reindeer worlds of the Arctic Sápmi. In the conference »Memories of Tomorrow« critical questions, such as how biotechnological advancements can allow us to alter the course of human memory and history or in what ways the Earth itself stores the memories of human interaction, and how we can repair the ecological damage we've caused, will be discussed.
