CALL FOR ENTRIES

POLAR IDENTITY

Global climate change has far reaching ramifications, the 
world as we know it will not be the world of 100 or perhaps 
even 10 years.  Armed with a “new” awareness of how our 
actions impact the environment, how will this effect our 
ideas of ourselves?  Polar Identity challenges us to take on 
a new perspective, one that can be both pragmatic and 
optimistic what is the fallout from new trade routes and 
passage through a once ice-blocked mass. How will these 
changes affect cartography, international relations, 
Easternization, religion, communications, etc. The new 
perspective upends the world, but what does it mean for the 
Southern hemisphere?

We are looking for work that relates to our individual & 
cultural relationships with the poles, how countries relate 
to the poles and how identity is derived from our polar 
relationship.
