A Conversation with Photographer Louie Palu

The Reva and David Logan Gallery of Documentary Photography presents "Distant Early Warning: The Arctic Under Siege" photographs by Louie Palu. Palu has made over 40 trips to the Arctic since the early 1990’s, resulting in over 200,000 photographs, documenting the transformations taking place in this vast and isolated region. For me, the Arctic is about the unknown and our imaginations. It’s often understood in the South through a map, cliché images of ice, animals, outdated stereotypes of indigenous people or scientific statistics. But it can also be a blank slate for invented narratives that suit people’s fantasies of what they want the Arctic to be. I’d like to challenge people’s perceptions and provoke a shift in consciousness, to produce work that makes us ask questions about a critically important part of our planet that will reshape our environment and what our ideas and strategies of security are in the face of a warming planet that will affect us all. –Louie Palu Presented in partnership with UC Berkeley Canadian Studies Department. #booklecture #ucberkeley #journalism #arctic #climatechange #photojournalism
