Speaking: Christopher Marianetti (Found Sound Nation) and Yaari Walker (Alaska Pacific University)
The Arctic Research Consortium of the US (ARCUS) invites registration for the next Arctic Research Seminar featuring Christopher Marianetti (Found Sound Nation) and Yaari Walker (Alaska Pacific University). The presentation, titled Sounds of Beringia, will be held via Zoom on Thursday, 28 March 2024 at 9:00 a.m. AKDT (1:00 p.m. EDT).
Seminar Abstract:
This webinar explores some of the more fascinating sounds happening in the region of Beringia - from the extraordinary communications of Bowhead whales to Buryat throat and overtone singing - by way of some of the latest cultural and scientific research and oral histories. This research is the subject of an upcoming documentary (in production by the presenters Yaari and Chris) that seeks to spotlight the Beringia region - its cultures (human and nonhuman), ecology, and environmental history - as a powerful and evocative force in the world.
