d.talks Members visited the Esker Foundation to tour Among All These Tundras, an exhibition exploring considerations of land, language and sovereignty through the lens of artists from the circumpolar North. Led by Assistant Curator Elizabeth Diggon, the tour explored that which remains obscured and even “delicious sound”.

The title of the exhibition is taken from a poem by a Sami writer titled ‘My Home is in my Heart’. We’ll be holding a Placeholder conversation at the gallery in August to explore this exhibition and a connection to place. You can subscribe to our invitations here.

All These Tundras is up thru August 30th. Find visiting details here.

What is d.talks

Each event is based on a design topic. They are a combination of presentations that open up discussion, followed by a distillation of how it relates at a local level. Screenings of a short documentary or an exhibition, prime the discussion. At d.talks, a question is as important as an answer.
