Arctic Play​ by Mita Mahato

Arctic Play is a drama, a dirge, an expedition log, a series of poetic experiments, a comic book. Mapping an Arctic imaginary of beings and landforms onto a shifting stage of woven and layered papers, Mita Mahato conjures geographic and creative uncertainty as the necessary condition for navigating the climate crisis and its sorrows.

“Mita Mahato’s Arctic Play is a trembling climate change chronicle that transports its reader to a place, a time, and a feeling.” ~ Astrida Neimanis, Bodies of Water: Posthuman Feminist Phenomenology
