C'ulc'ena' Łuu' / Gulkana Glacier
A community anarchive featuring visual materials related to one glacier and its surroundings.
The anarchive exists as a collective memory of place through visuals that explore human and more-than-human connections with C'ulc'ena' Łuu'. The anarchive is currently in development and includes community contributions, artwork, and archival materials that will be shared online throughout 2026. We understand “anarchiving” as a process of gathering and sharing perspectives through a variety of mediums and firsthand experiences. Rather than reconstructing a linear narrative of the glacier, we hope to create a space where meanings and questions can continually change and emerge.

This project is an ongoing collaboration by Klara Maisch and Katie Ione Craney, and is made possible with immense thanks to the Ursa Major Fund, a regional regranting program of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts administered by Bunnell Street Arts Center.
Klara Maisch is visual artist whose place-based paintings respond to glacial, Arctic, and boreal environments through immersive fieldwork and collaboration. She is currently working with new visual mediums to share stories that center firsthand knowledge and sensed experiences.
Katie Ione Craney is an interdisciplinary artist and MA candidate in Arctic & Northern Studies at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. For her degree, she curated an international exhibition focused on dis/comfort as a tool to interrogate how the Circumpolar North is viewed, felt, and imagined.
