On this sand (together) documents the story of place, Inupiaq familial connections to each other, and Indigenous lands and waters through photography. The space we knew as our subsistence fish camp near Nome, Alaska has been altered by climate change and was washed away by Typhoon Merbok. Containing portraits of family and friends, place, and the remixing of familial archival images, this work connects past, present, and future Inupiat and records our stories from fish camp, recording what climate change hasn’t erased - our ties to each other and the memories of place.
