    Up North, Edmonton Alberta to the Arctic Circle, First Entry
    Currently I am sitting in an apartment on a sunny day overlooking the river valley in Edmonton, Alberta. On July 19th we begin our trek through the Northern Canada, Alaska and the Arctic Circle that will last for 25 days. We will pass through wild and glacial terrain seeking out change as it is reflexively performed within culture and environment. Mixing personal storytelling with exploration this project will amass a variety of materials that will be edited into a documentary of sorts. As frequently as possible imagery and video will be posted to this site from this trip. We are seeking out the changing face of our world and hope to enter the conversation with fresh eyes and a capacity to find what we seek.
    Yesterday we interviewed a woman named Cosanna Preston who wrote her thesis comparing a culture in Canada, the Lubicon, to a culture in Nigeria. Responsibility, culture and change were a large part of her exploration. She recently gave a speech on it during the June 29 Day of Action.
    Check out the website as well for additional information, though I will try to keep this site as up to date as possible. Our research is ongoing and hopefully revealing. However, if anybody has any comments or recommendations please feel free to post it.
