CHUKOTSKY TRAVELING LANGUAGE CENTER

This project aims to preserve the endangered Indigenous languages and cultures in Chukotsky, the Russian Arctic area, by providing recording, editing, and archiving studios that will be available for daily use by local people. The project has a permanent basement landscape with temporary elements that travel across four villages in Chukotsky. The entire program functions as an annual cycle, including an inflatable performance center, portable unit, and snow dome that change with the seasons.
